Dubai has once again demonstrated its ability to turn challenges into opportunities by implementing an integrated logistics bridge that strengthened trade flows and ensured the continuous delivery of vital goods to local and regional markets.
In strategic partnership with Emirates SkyCargo, the logistics arm of Emirates Airline, Dubai Customs operated an integrated system designed to ensure the continuous flow of goods through the Dubai International Airport Cargo Village and the Maktoum International Airport Air Cargo Centre.
The system helped accelerate customs clearance, boost operational capacity, and strengthen food and pharmaceutical security locally and across the Gulf region, at a time when geopolitical developments have placed pressure on global trade and supply chains.
Support operations
Support operations during last May, in cooperation with Emirates SkyCargo, included 529 truck logistics trips transporting 2,636 tons of essential goods, including meat, pharmaceutical preparations, and general merchandise.
“We will continue strengthening integration across the maritime, customs and logistics sectors, enhancing our readiness to respond to change, and ensuring Dubai remains a reliable gateway for global trade and resilient supply chains,” remarked HE Abdulla bin Damithan, Chairman, Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation.
Digital solutions
“We will continue advancing our digital solutions and smart services in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, further reinforcing the UAE’s position as a leading global gateway for trade,” stressed HE Dr. Abdulla Busenad, Director General, Dubai Customs.
“We continue to invest in smart solutions and expand our operational capabilities to support global trade growth and strengthen the resilience of future supply chains,” observed Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President at Emirates SkyCargo.
