Key policies
Baggage allowance
As a dedicated cargo operator, Silk Way West Airlines does not maintain standard passenger baggage policies. All commercial freight is calculated by chargeable weight and Unit Load Device (ULD) dimensions in accordance with international air freight tariffs.
Change policy
Air Waybill (AWB) booking modifications depend on the selected freight service tier. Priority and express shipments offer enhanced flexibility for rerouting, while standard cargo booking changes are subject to capacity constraints and strict advance notice periods.
Check-in
Commercial freight and all legally required customs documentation must be tendered at the designated airport cargo terminal prior to the strict cutoff times outlined in the specific booking confirmation. Late submissions may result in deferred shipping.
