ADY Express, a subsidiary of Azerbaijan Railways, launched an express container block train service on the Azerbaijan-Georgia route. The first train under the new service was successfully dispatched on January 30 in accordance with a bilateral agreement signed between Azerbaijan Railways and Georgian Railways. The launch of the service is viewed by both parties as a new stage in the development of regional transport and logistics cooperation.
According to the agreements reached, ADY Express will operate on a regular basis—once a week according to a pre-approved schedule with a fixed departure time. Trains will operate regardless of their formation level, ensuring schedule stability and allowing shippers to more accurately plan their logistics chains. Express container trains will operate on the Poti/Batumi – Alat Port – Absheron Station – Sumgayit Cargo Terminal route and in the opposite direction.
The new service aims to increase the speed and efficiency of transportation along the Middle Corridor, expand regional logistics cooperation, and develop flexible and reliable transport solutions for international trade. The project’s implementation will strengthen Azerbaijan’s role as a key logistics hub in the region and create favorable conditions for attracting international freight flows.
