Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has announced the launch of 68 new FedEx Authorized Shipping Centers (FASCs) at Emirates Post branches across the United Arab Emirates. This initiative aims to improve the accessibility of FedEx retail services nationwide, strengthening the company's commitment to support the UAE economy and enhancing connections between businesses and communities with global markets.

The UAE's population exceeded 11 million in 2025, contributing to an increased demand for express logistics services. The newly established FASCs will provide walk-in customers access to FedEx international shipping services without requiring a FedEx account, allowing document and package shipments from all emirates.

Nitin Tatiwala, vice president of marketing, customer experience, and air network for FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa stated, “At FedEx, we are committed to delivering outstanding customer experiences by simplifying logistics and making our solutions more accessible. This collaboration allows us to significantly expand our retail access points across the UAE through Emirates Post’s extensive local network, bringing fast, reliable, and efficient services closer to communities. It also strengthens the UAE’s connectivity to global markets while adapting to the evolving needs of local consumers.”

Ayoub Ahli, general manager of Emirates Post commented on this development saying: “Our continued collaboration with FedEx underscores Emirates Post’s vision of transforming the largest branch network in the UAE for postal and logistics services into an inclusive gateway that connects communities with global markets. By integrating FedEx Authorized Shipping Centers within our branches, we are reaffirming our commitment to enhancing accessibility and customer convenience. More importantly, this move aligns with the UAE’s national agenda, empowers businesses, simplifies logistics for individuals, and ensures that world-class international shipping solutions are within reach for all, wherever they are across the Emirates.”

Through these centers at Emirates Post branches, customers will have access to various FedEx services including their International Priority service which delivers packages within two to three business days globally. Additionally available is the Regional Economy service—a cost-effective option ideal for less time-sensitive shipments—providing cross-border customs-cleared door-to-door delivery throughout key Middle Eastern markets.
