Emirates Courier Express Launches in Australia to Boost Fast Cross-Border Deliveries
Emirates has expanded its Emirates Courier Express service into Australia, marking a major step forward in reshaping cross-border logistics for businesses and consumers. Just months after its initial launch, the service now connects Australia to key international markets with unmatched delivery speed, flexibility, and reliability. Packages will be flown directly into four major Australian cities—Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney—on 70 weekly Emirates flights. With carefully aligned flight schedules, Emirates Courier Express ensures seamless door-to-door delivery across Australia, supported by a strong local first- and last-mile logistics partner. Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation at Emirates SkyCargo, stated: 'Since the early test phase of Emirates Courier Express, we knew Australia would be a key market… This is the evolution of our 30-year journey in the country, supporting both businesses and shoppers with cross-border deliveries.' Australia has seen a 45% increase in inbound small parcel volume over the past two years, reflecting a rise in online shopping. However, only 6% of international consumers currently purchase from Australian retailers due to challenges like delivery costs and long shipping times. Emirates Courier Express aims to resolve these pain points by offering a more direct and efficient alternative to traditional hub-and-spoke models. The service leverages Emirates' extensive passenger flight network and SkyCargo infrastructure, significantly reducing transit time and handling. This allows for faster delivery of everything from consumer goods to sensitive medical equipment. Additionally, Emirates Courier Express is a fully digital solution that integrates directly with customer platforms. It offers advanced package tracking and real-time updates, giving full visibility throughout the journey, improving the overall delivery experience for both businesses and end consumers.
