Dubai [UAE], July 16 (ANI/WAM): Emirates has expanded its Emirates Courier Express service into Australia, marking a major milestone just months after its initial launch and underscoring the airline’s commitment to redefining the cross-border delivery experience.
Emirates Courier Express packages will now fly directly into four major Australian cities — Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney — on 70 flights per week. The airline’s existing passenger flight schedule to and from Australia is timed to offer seamless connectivity with key destinations in Europe and the Middle East, enabling Emirates Courier Express to deliver packages door-to-door in just a few days.
Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation at Emirates SkyCargo, said, “Since the early test phase of Emirates Courier Express, we knew Australia would be a key market. Logistically challenging and historically underserved, businesses and end consumers will feel the benefits of our direct connectivity, high-frequency flight schedules, and flexible, scalable solution.”
Despite growing consumer trust in cross-border e-commerce, only 6 percent of international shoppers buy from Australian retailers, according to the International Trade Administration. Delivery and logistics challenges, including high costs and long timelines, have deterred many consumers. Meanwhile, inbound small parcel volume to Australia has surged by 45 percent over the past two years, with a record number of households shopping online. (ANI/WAM)
