Silk Way AFEZCO, part of the Silk Way Group, is proud to announce a partnership with ExecuJet, part of the Luxaviation Group, one of the world’s largest business aircraft and helicopter operators that brings together two major developments for the future of business aviation in Azerbaijan.

Silk Way AFEZCO and ExecuJet will jointly develop a next-generation Fixed Base Operation (FBO) at the new Alat International Airport, strategically located south of Baku. In parallel, both parties have signed an Aircraft Management Agreement for Silk Way AFEZCO new Gulfstream G500, marking Luxaviation Group’s entry into the Azerbaijani market with the management of the country’s first aircraft of this type.

The collaboration also includes a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a joint venture at the Alat Free Economic Zone (AFEZ). The venture aims to create a comprehensive aviation services hub, reinforcing Azerbaijan’s position as a strategic gateway between Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group, comments: This is a milestone partnership for Luxaviation and ExecuJet as we expand into Azerbaijan market. By combining Silk Way AFEZCO strong regional expertise with our global experience in premium FBO and aircraft management services, we are setting new benchmarks for quality, efficiency, and customer hospitality in the Caspian region.”

Jawad Dbila, Chief Executive Officer of Silk Way AFEZCO adds: “We are proud to partner with ExecuJet to elevate Azerbaijan’s role in global business aviation. The FBO at Alat International Airport and the joint venture at AFEZ will provide unmatched services for operators and passengers alike.

Construction of the Alat International Airport FBO is expected to commence at the end of 2025, with an anticipated opening in early 2027.
