High, Wide, & Pinksome/Belle of Azerbaijan

High Wide & Pinksome

   Delta recently repainted its iconic “Pink Plane,” a B767-400, in advance of the airline's 11th Annual “Breast Cancer One” survivor flight.
   The flight carried more than 140 employee breast cancer survivors aboard Delta’s first international route from New York City to Mexico City on Oct. 1.
   During October Delta employees will wear pink uniforms and sell pink products, including pink lemonade and pink headsets, on board and in Delta Sky Clubs, with proceeds from the airline’s pink products to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
   Since 2005, Delta employees, customers, and their friends and family members have raised more than $9.2 million for BCRF, with last year’s efforts resulting in $1.3 million. The collective contributions have also funded the vital work of 37 different research projects over the years.


Baku Terminal
   “Don’t give me no gas”—we’re certain these words won’t make this week’s headlines as the 6th Caspian Air Cargo Summit (CACS) ran October 5-7 in Baku, Azerbaijan, and a weakening China market threatens to bring on cutbacks in service via the gateway. CACS 2015 focuses on the oil and gas industry, the future of freighters, and improving the perishables air freight supply chain.
Pierre Wesner   “The Chinese economy has somehow influenced the volume of cargo transportation through this country,” said Pierre Wesner, vice president of Azerbaijan’s Silk Way West Airlines (which hosts the event), adding that Hong Kong remains an important, strategic destination.
   Nevertheless, Silk Way is looking to trim some of its multiple weekly B747F frequencies to China via Baku.
   Also on the half shell this week is Heydar Aliyev International Airport, home of The Baku Cargo Terminal (BCT), which opened in March 2005 as a major cargo hub in the CIS and today is rated amongst the largest and most technically advanced in the region.
