This renewal between the ULD provider and the Baku-based cargo airline encompasses a multi-year ULD agreement.

By extending the collaboration, Silk Way West Airlines aims to continue to streamline its cargo-handling processes, ensuring quicker turnaround and transit times for shipments, while ACL Airshop will provide ULD solutions, leveraging technology to enhance cargo protection, tracking, and overall supply chain visibility.

In addition to the environment, the partnership will focus on technology with the introduction of Bluetooth for real-time ULD tracking.
