DUBAI- Emirates Airline (EK) launched Emirates Courier Express on April 2, 2025, an end-to-end delivery solution leveraging its extensive global network and nearly four decades of logistics expertise.
The service debuts in seven markets with plans for expansion across Emirates’ entire route network.
Emirates Launches Courier Express
The new express courier service has already transported thousands of packages from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, South Africa, and the UK during its pilot phase, achieving average delivery times under 48 hours.
Unlike traditional cross-border delivery services that operate on hub-and-spoke models requiring multiple stops, Emirates Courier Express functions like passenger travel—sending packages directly from origin to destination.
This direct approach significantly reduces transit time and package handling while offering customers competitive advantages.
The service utilizes Emirates’ fleet of over 250 widebody passenger and freighter aircraft, complemented by an integrated network of partners handling customs clearance and first/last mile transportation. This infrastructure integration allows Emirates to manage seasonal volume fluctuations while maintaining cost stability for customers.
Digital Integration and Specialized Solutions
Emirates Courier Express operates on a fully digital platform designed to integrate directly with customer software systems. The service features advanced tracking capabilities, real-time updates, and complete transparency throughout the delivery process.
The service offers multiple delivery options including next-day urgent delivery and a two-day Premium service. Specialized teams provide tailored solutions for various industries, from fashion and electronics to critical medical equipment, utilizing the airline’s existing freight infrastructure including temperature-controlled capabilities.
“Emirates Courier Express is an evolution in how we move goods across the globe, at speed, and at scale,” said Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo. “This innovative solution does not just meet the Emirates Gold Standard of reliability and excellence but sets a new benchmark for what’s possible.”
