Emirates launches Emirates Courier Express

Backed by almost four decades of experience keeping goods and people moving worldwide, Emirates has launched Emirates Courier Express, an end-to-end delivery solution.

To ensure Emirates Courier Express addressed industry-wide challenges, Emirates worked with various global customers to pilot and finesse the product before launching it to make it as fast, reliable, and flexible as possible.

Over the last year, Emirates Courier Express transported several thousand packages from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, South Africa, and the UK. The average delivery time is less than 48 hours. Now, Emirates Courier Express is open for business. 

Traditionally, cross-border delivery is managed via a global hub-and-spoke model, with a package making multiple stops before arriving at its destination. Emirates Courier Express has broken this mould. Just like passengers, packages will travel from origin to destination directly, leveraging the breadth of Emirates' vast global network and near-unparalleled flight frequencies. This approach significantly reduces time in transit and reduces package handling. Direct connectivity is matched with different service levels, ranging from next-day urgent delivery to two-day Premium service, along with a pipeline of innovative new products. 

Emirates Courier Express will be active and available in seven markets at launch. However, the potential network growth is unlimited: Emirates Courier Express can deliver wherever Emirates flies. Expansion to additional markets is already in the works.
