In the summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to get on board a freighter IL-76TD aircraft operated by Silk Way. Our flight was from Baku to Baghdad and back (flights ZP4801/4802). The IL-76TD registration 4K-AZ40 was almost 28 years old at the time of our trip. The company currently has 6 Ilyushin 76s in its fleet, of which 2 machines are the newer version IL-76TD-90, which have an increased payload from 44 tons to 50 tons. The 90 version can be recognized very easily thanks to the larger and more modern engines. The airline is part of the Silk Way Group, which also includes Silk Way West Airlines with a fleet of Boeing 747-400F and 747-8F.
