Emirates unveils new courier service leveraging its extensive air fleet

Emirates has officially launched Emirates Courier Express, an end-to-end delivery solution noted for its capacity to transport packages as it would passengers. This new venture by Emirates leverages its fleet of over 250 aircraft and an extensive partner network. By employing a direct travel model akin to passenger transport, the service promises to reduce transit time and handling, offering a competitive advantage for delivery speed.

Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President at Emirates SkyCargo, described Emirates Courier Express as "an evolution in how we move goods across the globe, at speed and at scale." Abbas added that the product lives up to the Emirates Gold Standard of reliability and excellence, setting a new benchmark in the express delivery sector.

Initially available in seven markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, Emirates Courier Express plans to expand wherever the airline operates. It's equipped to handle fluctuations in delivery volume, maintaining cost stability for its customers. The service includes different delivery speeds, from next-day urgent delivery to a two-day premium service.
