Silkroad Freight (L5 / SSU)

Cargo

Modern (1981-2025)

Lanzhou, People's Republic of China

Silkroad Freight (丝路货运）is a minor freight carrier based in Lanzhou. It commenced operations in late 2018 with a single 757 financed by China Fada Leasing, and has since grown to a fleet of six 757s and two 737 freighter aircraft. They operate charter freight services largely around the Western China and Central Asia region, with the most common route being between Urumqi and Lanzhou.

In essence, I tried to convey a modern design of a small Chinese carrier with inspiration from Central Airlines (中州航空）and SF. Honestly imo "Chinese" design as a whole is difficult to categorise, which is why the design of the aircraft livery is simple and can be interpreted in different ways. The centrepiece of the livery is the weave motif inspired by the carrier's name Silkroad. The rest of the livery contains a flowing curve/swoop which I thought of as a homage to the Gobi Desert and the routes through which Ancient Chinese travellers moved during the days of the namesake trading route.

The colours of the airline are also inspired by the colours of the Gobi Desert.

Charter + Utilities - Mirneftaero

Aviakompaniya Mirneftaero is an airline based in Novy Urengoy, Russia. It operates passenger and cargo charters around key cities in the Russian Arctic, mainly with the purpose of shuttling the personnel of Mirneft (Global Oil) to towns and cities involved in the extraction of oil in the Arctic oil fields in the Barents and Kara Seas. The airline was founded in 2001 and presently operates a fleet of five Sukhoi Superjet 100s. Occasionally, the charter airline sells surplus seats on its flights, but due to the high prices and remoteness of the destinations its revenue passengers mainly consist of local avgeeks.

I recently found out about the interesting logistics operations behind Gazprom and other Russian utilities companies and that led me to research more FIFO operations around the world, particularly in Russia, Australia and Canada. I wanted to make something that I hadn't done before so I picked the Charter and Utilities sectors for a bit of a challenge.
