Emirates has expanded its groundbreaking Emirates Courier Express solution into Australia.
Coming just months after launch, the expansion signals the airline’s commitment to reinventing the cross-border delivery experience, connecting businesses and their customers with a fast, reliable and flexible service.
Emirates Courier Express packages will fly directly into four major cities in Australia– Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney on 70 flights per week.
“Emirates Courier Express is the evolution of this journey, and we look forward to supporting local businesses, and local shoppers, with their cross-border deliveries,” stated Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President, Product and Innovation, Emirates SkyCargo.
Challenges
Challenges with delivery and logistics play a key role, as fluctuating costs and long timelines deter consumers from placing orders. Conversely, the inbound small parcel volume to Australia has increased by 45% in the last two years, and a record number of households are shopping online.
Breaking the traditional hub-and-spoke model, Emirates Courier Express provides direct connectivity via Dubai, significantly reducing time in transit, reducing package handling and getting goods where they’re needed at unmatched speed.
Utilizing extensive world-class infrastructure, Emirates Courier Express is equipped to transport all verticals, from consumer goods to products that require specialist handling, such as critical medical equipment.
A fully digital solution, Emirates Courier Express can be directly integrated into customers’ existing software, while advanced tracking systems, real-time updates, and seamless integration ensure Emirates Courier Express customers (and their customers!) have full visibility as their package moves worldwide.
