Caspian Air Cargo Summit starts in Baku

Lars-Gunnar Comen, Director of Euroavia International, said that the summit will focus on air cargo transportation problems, prospects, security and other related issues.

He added that Azerbaijan is located on the Ancient Silk Way and at the crossroads between Europe, Middle East and Asia, and Baku is gaining importance as a cargo hub.

Azerbaijan Airlines Director General, Jahangir Asgarov, briefed the participants about development of civil aviation in Azerbaijan and establishment of a privately owned air carrier Silk Way Airlines.

A complimentary bus tour will be arranged for delegates to the old city of Baku with ancient buildings, fortress, palaces and an airport tour to the Heydar Aliyev International Airport including a visit to the new Baku Air Cargo Terminal. Azerbaijan is known for its amazing natural wonders like mud volcanoes and flames that spontaneously erupt from the ground creating flaming torches. APA-Economics
