Silk Way AFEZCO and FF Construction collaborate to shape the future of Silk Way Cargo Village

Silk Way Alat Free Economic Zone Company (SW AFEZCO) has entered into a landmark design and build agreement with FF Construction, marking a significant milestone in the development of the Silk Way Cargo Village within the Alat Free Economic Zone (AFEZ). The agreement includes the design, engineering, and construction of three core facilities that will be integral to the Silk Way Cargo Village: the air traffic control tower, a business aviation terminal, and a fire station.

The air traffic control tower will ensure flawless air traffic management and safety, featuring advanced radar and communication systems alongside energy-efficient and sustainable facilities. The business aviation terminal will provide seamless services for private aviation, with dedicated customs areas, VIP lounges, and direct apron access, setting a new standard for regional business aviation. The fire station will guarantee rapid emergency response with advanced equipment and vehicles, incorporating sustainable features including water recycling systems to align with environmental goals.

These facilities will be built in accordance with international standards for green and sustainable infrastructure. Technical guidance from the International Civil Aviation Organization will support progress towards the Green Airport certification, while collaboration with local regulatory bodies will ensure maximum efficiency and scalability for the airport’s future growth.

“This agreement represents an important step in our journey to establish a world-class logistics hub in Azerbaijan,” said Jawad Dbila, Managing Director of SW AFEZCO. “Partnering with FF Construction reflects our dedication to delivering innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions in the aviation and logistics sectors.”

Ayaz Soltanov, Director of FF Construction LLC, added, “We are honored to collaborate with SW AFEZCO on this transformative project. Our extensive experience in executing complex infrastructure projects ensures that these facilities will set new benchmarks for quality and sustainability, strengthening Azerbaijan’s logistics ecosystem.”

The project is scheduled for completion in 2026, further enhancing regional connectivity and supporting sustainable economic growth.
