The flight was conducted at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture to support sustainable agricultural development.
The yaks will contribute to local agricultural practices and enhance the genetic diversity of the region’s livestock.
They travelled over 2,000 kilometres from Bishkek Manas International Airport to Ganja Airport in custom-designed crates and the Boeing 747-400F was equipped with advanced ventilation and temperature controlled systems to maintain an optimal environment throughout the journey.
From Ganja, they travelled by truck to their new home in Kalbajar.
Vugar Mammadov, Vice President CIS and Central Asia at Silk Way West Airlines, says, “We are honoured to support sustainable agriculture and biodiversity through expert handling and transportation of live animals. This collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture underscores our commitment to enhancing local ecosystems and contributing to global sustainability efforts.”
