Emirates has introduced a new A380 livery dedicated to Emirates Courier Express, its latest door-to-door delivery service. The redesigned aircraft reflects the airline’s goal to improve the express delivery process by combining its 40 years of experience in transporting people and goods around the world.
The unique livery on the A380 was developed entirely in-house by Emirates Engineering. The project involved a complete repaint of the aircraft, along with the design, production, and installation of the new look. The result is a one-of-a-kind aircraft design inspired by brown paper packages, aimed at giving visual identity to the airline’s growing logistics offering.
The front of the aircraft and its fuselage are styled to look like kraft paper wrapping, with a torn section exposing the UAE flag on the tail. The Emirates Courier Express logo appears clearly on both sides of the aircraft. All four engines also carry the logo, and the belly showcases the traditional red Emirates branding. Additional details such as a bold ‘special delivery’ stamp and other package handling stamps further reinforce the delivery theme.
Emirates Courier Express livery
This livery represents more than just a design change. It shows how Emirates is integrating its large fleet of over 250 widebody aircraft with its wide-reaching global routes and the strong logistics support of Emirates SkyCargo. This combination allows for a seamless express delivery service across different parts of the world. It also marks the first time Emirates has placed a cargo-themed design on one of its passenger aircraft.
The freshly painted Emirates Courier Express A380 recently made its first flight to O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. On this trip, the aircraft transported both passengers and packages, providing a direct and efficient delivery route from the departure point to the final destination.
The new service continues to build on Emirates’ long-standing expertise in logistics and air travel. Emirates Courier Express will now be supported by a strong operational network that includes frequent flights and a reliable cargo infrastructure. With this latest launch, the airline adds more value to its services by combining passenger and cargo operations in a unified platform.
The full repainting process was part of a larger project led by Emirates Engineering. From the early stages of the concept to the final application, every detail of the design was handled internally. The paintwork not only delivers a visual message but also connects the brand’s delivery solution with a wider audience through a creative and functional approach.
The Emirates Courier Express service aims to offer a fast and dependable shipping option that connects global locations using existing airline resources. The dedicated aircraft adds a new element to Emirates’ ongoing expansion in logistics while staying true to its original mission of connecting people and goods across continents.
