The Silk Way Group was established in 2006. Over the years, the Silk Way Group expanded to include a number of subsidiaries active in the aviation industry as well as in other sectors. At the end of 2019, a strategic decision was taken to focus on freight transportation, and following a process of divestment of non-core activities, the group was consolidated into three companies engaged in cargo aviation and related services: Silk Way Airlines, Silk Way West, and Silk Way Technics.
