Azerbaijan's Silk Way wins US landing rights over domestic objections
AZERBAIJAN's Silk Way Airlines and its subsidiaries have deflected National Air Cargo objections to win the right to fly to the US.
The three carriers, Silk Way, Silk Way West and SW Italia, can now operate all-cargo services into the US after approval was given earlier this month, reports London's Loadstar.
Older documents show that the carriers are eyeing Chicago and Houston. Silk Way first applied in 2014 and was met with a series of objections from rival National, despite Azerbaijan and the US having signed an open skies agreement.
Silk Way accused National of "attempting to game the system for delay rather than making an earnest effort to articulate and resolve any valid issue".
The US Department of Transportation responded that it had "taken note of National's concern" but saw "no persuasive basis to withhold the bilaterally agreed authority at issue?
The news came as Silk Way West, which operates 747 freighters, had its eighth Boeing aircraft, its fourth 747-8F, delivered. It plans to fly into Chicago and Dhaka.
