Quick Announcement: Emirates Launches Revolutionary Fast Delivery Service
In April 2025, Dubai-based aviation giant Emirates launched a new service, Emirates Courier Express, aimed at revolutionizing the express shipping industry. This end-to-end global express delivery solution offers fast, secure, and cost-effective shipping through Emirates’ extensive global logistics network and frequent passenger flights.
Emirates Courier Express operates on a unique model, enabling direct shipment from origin to destination, bypassing conventional hub-and-spoke logistics models. The service is entirely digital and integrates seamlessly into customer systems, providing real-time tracking and advanced analytics for complete transparency.
Expansion and Partnerships
The service has recently expanded into the Australian market, operating direct door-to-door express delivery with packages flying into Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney via 70 Emirates passenger flights weekly. Emirates Courier Express partnered with Mayple Global, a cross-border logistics platform, to further speed up and simplify international delivery for U.S.-based e-commerce merchants. This partnership targets eight global markets and offers more competitive shipping rates and shorter transit times.
Growth and Innovation
Emirates SkyCargo, supporting Emirates Courier Express, has raised its cargo capacity by 15% in 2025 to meet rising global demand. The overall growth plan for Emirates Courier Express involves leveraging Emirates’ strong flight network, partnerships to streamline cross-border logistics, and targeted expansions in strategic markets like Australia to capture growing e-commerce shipping demands and improve global delivery speed and cost-efficiency.
Emirates Courier Express operates in seven markets at launch, with plans for rapid expansion wherever Emirates flies. The service offers multiple options, including next-day urgent delivery and a two-day premium service. Further innovations in the pipeline for Emirates Courier Express promise to maintain its commitment to efficiency and flexibility for businesses worldwide.
