Emirates has expanded its Emirates Courier Express solution to Australia. It will fly directly into Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney on 70 flights per week using the existing passenger schedule and serving the whole country.Â
Breaking the traditional hub-and-spoke model, Emirates Courier Express provides direct connectivity, via Dubai, significantly reducing time in transit and handling. Emirates Courier Express is equipped to transport all verticals, from consumer goods to products that require specialist handling, such as critical medical equipment.
It can also be directly integrated into customers’ existing software with tracking and real-time updates.
The International Trade Administration reports that only 6% of international shoppers currently buy from Australia. Challenges with delivery and logistics play a key role, as fluctuating costs and long timelines deter consumers from placing orders. Despite that 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.
