Emirates has unveiled Emirates Courier Express, a new delivery service designed to provide a faster and more reliable shipping solution. With nearly four decades of experience in global logistics, the airline developed this service to streamline deliveries and address industry challenges. Emirates Courier Express ensures efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in transporting goods across various international markets.
Unlike traditional cross-border shipping models that involve multiple transit points, Emirates Courier Express adopts a direct approach. Packages travel like passengers, moving directly from origin to destination using Emirates’ extensive global network. This method reduces transit time, minimizes package handling, and enhances efficiency for businesses needing quick deliveries. The average shipping time is less than 48 hours, making it one of the fastest services available.
Customers can choose from various service levels, including next-day urgent delivery and a two-day premium service. The airline has also planned future expansions to offer more options tailored to different business needs. The initial launch covers seven markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, South Africa, and the UK, with additional destinations expected to follow soon.
Expanding Global Reach with Reliable Logistics
Emirates Courier Express benefits from the airline’s access to over 250 widebody passenger and freighter aircraft. This extensive fleet allows shipments to reach international destinations efficiently. Additionally, the service integrates a trusted global network to handle customs clearance and last-mile delivery, ensuring a seamless shipping process from start to finish.
A dedicated team of specialists manages various types of cargo, including fashion, electronics, and medical equipment. The service is also equipped with temperature-controlled solutions to handle sensitive shipments, providing businesses with tailored logistics options.
Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation at Emirates SkyCargo, stated, “Emirates Courier Express is the result of challenging the status quo. Along with the industry, we watched the increasing volumes of cross-border shipping and challenged ourselves to find a better way to transport these goods faster and more efficiently. The new product launch reflects our ongoing commitment to push the boundaries to introduce innovations which drive real impact and ensure our customers always have access to the fastest, most reliable and cost-effective solutions available.”
Seamless Digital Integration
Emirates Courier Express offers an entirely digital platform designed for ease of use. Businesses can integrate their shipping processes directly with the system, allowing real-time tracking and complete transparency throughout the delivery process. The platform provides businesses with complete control over their shipments, ensuring efficiency from collection to final delivery.
Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President of Emirates SkyCargo, emphasized the service’s innovative approach, saying, “Emirates Courier Express is an evolution in how we move goods across the globe, at speed and at scale. Building on our world-class and well-established infrastructure, and reimagining traditional logistics processes where necessary, this innovative solution does not just meet the Emirates Gold Standard of reliability and excellence but sets a new benchmark for what’s possible. This is only the beginning of our vision to continuously innovate and lead the charge in the express delivery sector.”
With its rapid shipping times, direct connections, and integrated digital system, Emirates Courier Express is set to transform international delivery services. Businesses can now rely on a faster and more efficient way to ship goods worldwide while benefiting from Emirates’ established logistics expertise.
