Rail Freight Services from Azerbaijan — Europe, Asia & the Middle Corridor

Alliance Logistics is the official rail freight operator of Azerbaijan Railways, providing end-to-end cargo transportation across the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route. We connect China, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Turkey, and Europe — with in-house customs clearance and real-time shipment tracking.

Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR)

The Middle Corridor — Your Fastest Rail Link Between Asia and Europe

The Middle Corridor is the most direct overland rail route connecting China and Central Asia to Europe, passing through Azerbaijan. With active government investment, expanding port infrastructure at Baku, and growing demand from European importers, this route is now a commercially mature, sanctions-free alternative to traditional northern corridors.
