Backed by nearly four decades of expertise in global logistics, Emirates has introduced Emirates Courier Express, an end-to-end delivery solution designed to transform the express shipping experience.
A Game-Changer in Express Delivery
To develop a service that directly addresses industry challenges, Emirates collaborated with global customers to refine the product before its official launch. Over the past year, Emirates Courier Express successfully transported thousands of packages across key markets including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, South Africa, and the UK. The service boasts an average delivery time of less than 48 hours, setting a new benchmark for efficiency.
Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo, emphasized the innovation behind the service:
“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.”
A Direct-to-Destination Approach
Unlike traditional hub-and-spoke logistics models, Emirates Courier Express eliminates unnecessary transit points by sending packages directly from origin to destination, much like passenger travel. This minimizes handling, reduces transit time, and provides businesses with a competitive edge in fast and reliable international shipping.
The service offers multiple options, including:
- Next-day urgent delivery
- Two-day premium service
- A pipeline of innovative new products
Expanding Global Reach
Currently available in seven key markets, Emirates Courier Express has ambitious expansion plans. With Emirates’ vast network of over 250 widebody passenger and freighter aircraft, the service has the potential to reach any destination covered by the airline.
In addition, Emirates Courier Express integrates with a trusted global network of logistics partners for customs clearance, first and last-mile delivery, and other essential logistics functions. This enables cost stability, smooth handling of seasonal demand fluctuations, and streamlined budgeting for customers.
Cutting-Edge Digital Integration
Emirates Courier Express is designed for seamless digital interaction, with a purpose-built tech platform that integrates directly into customers’ software, ensuring:
- Real-time tracking and updates
- Efficient and reliable end-to-end service
- Transparent and cost-effective shipping solutions
Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation at Emirates SkyCargo, highlights the transformative impact of the new service:
“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.”
