Kenyan, Azerbaijani, air cargo airlines sign interline agreement
Dedicated air cargo operators Astral Aviation, based in Kenya, and Silk Way West Airlines, of Azerbaijan, announced on Tuesday that they had signed an interline agreement. This will provide cross-selling benefits to both companies and give each access to the other’s network.
The two operators’ networks are very complementary, with effectively no overlap. Astral Aviation’s network covers East and Southern Africa and has routes to Dubai, Belgium and the UK. Silk Way West covers destinations in Europe (but neither the UK nor Belgium), Central Asia and East Asia, as well as several destinations spread across the Middle East, South and South East Asia.
Under the agreement, the Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai will act as the key transit point between the two companies. Astral’s clients will now be able to more easily access key destinations in Europe and Asia, and Silk Way West’s customers will now have easy access to Africa.
“We will continue to forge new alliances and partnerships during the pandemic in line with our philosophy of promoting cooperation and collaboration with airlines and all members of the supply chain, as this will enable our respective clients to benefit with better options and connectivity from our respective networks,” explained Astral Aviation CEO Sanjeev Gadhia.
“It is another success for us having such a large network across the African continent,” said Silk Way West chief commercial officer: Indian subcontinent, Middle East and Africa Johnny Rubio. “The benefits of this interline agreement are of great interest. In cooperation with Astral Aviation, we expand our footprint into Africa.”
