FedEx Expands Local Presence in the UAE in Collaboration with Emirates Post
Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), the world's largest express transportation company, announced the launch of 68 new FedEx Authorized Shipping Centers (FASCs) at Emirates Post branches, the UAE's official postal services provider. This expansion significantly enhances the accessibility of FedEx retail services nationwide, reinforcing the company's commitment to supporting the UAE economy and connecting businesses and communities to global markets.
With the UAE's population surpassing 11 million in 2025, demand for express logistics services continues to grow. The newly established FASCs at Emirates Post branches offer walk-in customers with FedEx international shipping services, without the need for a FedEx account. Customers can ship documents and packages from all emirates.
Nitin Tatiwala, vice president of marketing, customer experience, and air network for FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa, said, At FedEx, we are committed to delivering outstanding customer experiences by simplifying logistics and making our solutions more accessible. This collaboration allows us to significantly expand our retail access points across the UAE through Emirates Post's extensive local network, bringing fast, reliable, and efficient services closer to communities. It also strengthens the UAE's connectivity to global markets while adapting to the evolving needs of local consumers.
Ayoub Ahli, general manager of Emirates Post, said, Our continued collaboration with FedEx underscores Emirates Post's vision of transforming the largest branch network in the UAE for postal and logistics services into an inclusive gateway that connects communities with global markets. By integrating FedEx Authorized Shipping Centers within our branches, we are reaffirming our commitment to enhancing accessibility and customer convenience. More importantly, this move aligns with the UAE's national agenda, empowers businesses, simplifies logistics for individuals, and ensures that world-class international shipping solutions are within reach for all, wherever they are across the Emirates.
Through the FASCs, customers will have access to a range of FedEx services, including FedEx International Priority® service, which delivers within two to three business days to major markets around the world. Customers can also opt for FedEx Regional Economy®, a cross-border, customs-cleared, door-to-door road service with day-definite delivery, ideal for cost-effective shipping of less time-sensitive packages to key markets across the Middle East.

Emirates Post, Aramex partner to boost logistics coverage across UAE
Emirates Post entered into a strategic partnership with Aramex to provide service access to the leading global logistics and transportation company at select Emirates Post branches. As part of the initial phase, select Emirates Post branches in Dubai will begin offering Aramex's domestic and international express services, including the shipment of what are considered Dangerous Goods (DGG) such as perfumes to select regional markets. The pilot phase will progressively extend to more branches across the UAE, reflecting the shared commitment of both organisations towards broadening service accessibility and ensuring inclusive access for communities nationwide, the companies said. This initiative is in line with Emirates Post's broader vision to transform its national branch network into a unified hub for convenient and customer-centric shipping solutions. Future phases of the partnership will introduce additional services, including parcel pickups and returns, ensuring that the partnership continues to evolve in response to growing customer expectations and the UAE's expanding logistics demand, the companies said. Rashed Huraiz Alfalasi, Acting General Manager of Emirates Post, said the partnership underscores the organisation's vision of transforming the traditional understanding of a 'post office' into a multi-service destination built on accessibility, reliability, and innovation. 'By bringing Aramex's services into our branch network, we are making it easier for individuals and SMEs to access reliable logistics solutions, while strengthening the UAE's position as a regional hub for logistics,' he said. Tarek Abuyaghi, General Manager of Aramex, said the strategic alignment with Emirates Post will enable the company to further strengthen its last-mile connectivity in select remote areas where demand is growing and infrastructure is still evolving. 'By combining Aramex's global reach and technology-driven logistics capabilities with Emirates Post's extensive local network and expertise, we are creating a more seamless and accessible delivery experience for our customers across the UAE,' he said. The integration of Aramex services represents a significant milestone in Emirates Post's evolution into a centralised platform for postal and courier, express, and parcel (CEP) solutions.

Infrastructure investment to turbocharge South Africa's transport and trade future
Infrastructure investment remains a top priority for South Africa, with plans set to transform the country's transport and logistics sector while unlocking economic growth, trade efficiency and business opportunities. Although the 2025 National Budget 3.0 is still to be tabled, government's previously stated commitment to major public infrastructure development in the years ahead positions the country for a more resilient and competitive market. Gregory Saffy, managing director for sub-Saharan Africa operations at FedEx, emphasises the importance of these developments: 'This commitment will be a pivotal step toward enhancing the efficiency of goods and services moving across the country. 'Hopefully, this investment will translate into more reliable and expedited transit times, allowing us to continue offering superior services to customers. Upgrades to roads, railways, ports, and airports will facilitate smoother domestic and international trade, aligning with our mission to provide efficient and dependable logistics solutions.' Closing infrastructure gaps Despite having some of the best transport infrastructure on the continent, South Africa continues to face challenges such as inadequate maintenance and underinvestment. These issues contribute to congested ports, unreliable rail services, and deteriorating roads, all of which hinder trade efficiency and deter investment. 'Infrastructure deficiencies ultimately stifle economic development,' notes Saffy. 'Addressing these issues is essential to reducing the cost of doing business, improving service reliability, and positioning South Africa as a key trade hub within Africa and beyond.' Reducing business costs and supporting SMEs Poor infrastructure significantly increases operational expenses for businesses due to delays, heightened fuel consumption, and increased maintenance costs. In contrast, well-maintained transport networks lower logistics costs, benefiting businesses of all sizes but particularly SMEs looking to expand their market reach. 'Enhanced infrastructure provides SMEs with reliable and cost-effective access to markets, suppliers, and customers. Improved transport and logistics networks enable timely deliveries and open opportunities for expansion.' Saffy explains. FedEx, for example, has been actively working to bridge these gaps through innovations like FedEx International Connect Plus (FICP), a service designed to offer cost-effective and speedy delivery solutions that enable South African e-tailers to better meet customer demands. Expanding market access and facilitating trade While across the world, uncertainty around how global trade might look in future prevails, infrastructure improvements will certainly support in increasing market access, says Saffy. Beyond physical infrastructure, technological advancements are also driving efficiency in logistics and trade. 'Digital infrastructure investments will strengthen customs operations and streamline supply chains. Infrastructure investment is key to ensuring that South Africa remains a competitive player in global trade,' he adds. 'At FedEx, for instance, we leverage advanced data and technology to better serve our customers. AI is no longer just a tool, it's become the driving force behind enterprise growth, profitability, and efficiency. Our mission is to make supply chains smarter for everyone and connect them with our data platforms,' concludes Saffy. All rights reserved. © 2022. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (
