The herd was flown from Bishkek Manas International Airport to Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport and were transported by truck from the airport to their final destination.
Using one of its Boeing 747 Freighters, Silk Way provided the yaks with an air-conditioned and ventilated environment, and the animals were transported in special cages so they were not injured during the journey.
Vugar Mammadov, Vice President CIS and Central Asia at Silk Way West Airlines, says, “We are proud to be involved in projects like this, contributing to the preservation of a sustainable and biodiverse environment worldwide. Thanks to experienced crew and accompanying veterinarians, we were able to transport safely the yaks to their new home in Azerbaijan. We thank the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Azerbaijan for their trust in our work.”
