Emirates Courier Express has grown its footprint in Europe with the start of operations in Germany. Headquartered in Frankfurt, the groundbreaking door-to-door cross-border delivery solution is primed to serve Germany’s manufacturing hub and add a new, more direct offering to Europe’s B2B supply chains and B2C shippers.
The launch into Germany is a strategic development in Emirates Courier Express’ expansion plans, enabling the airline to better serve one of Europe’s most prominent production hubs. Within a four-hour radius of Frankfurt, Emirates Courier Express will connect some of the biggest manufacturers in life sciences and healthcare, textiles, automotive, aviation and industrial engineering with their international suppliers, partners and businesses with bespoke, scalable logistics solutions.
Connecting Dubai and Frankfurt with 21 weekly services in each direction, Emirates’ flight schedule conveniently offers morning, afternoon and evening slots, allowing for multiple departures each day. Coupled with Frankfurt’s excellent road connectivity to other major cities and towns, Emirates Courier Express will serve the whole of Germany with delivery timelines of just 3 to 5 days.
Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation, Emirates SkyCargo, said, “With our high-frequency flight schedule and the flexibility of our world-class infrastructure, Emirates Courier Express brings a new dynamic to Germany’s logistics ecosystem. Working hand in hand with customers, we can provide tailor-made solutions to a variety of industries, carrying everything from pharmaceuticals to automotive spare parts, and provide quicker, more direct shipments from Germany and into key markets such as the Middle East, Africa and Australia.”
The direct connectivity between Frankfurt and Dubai significantly reduces the shipment time in transit and package handling. While the vast majority of Emirates Courier Express packages will travel on the passenger flights, Emirates also operates six weekly freighters into Frankfurt, adding a new dimension to the existing solution by enabling customers to move shipments of all shapes and sizes quickly, reliably and efficiently.
Prioritising ease of business, Emirates Courier Express is entirely digital, with a purpose-built tech platform integrating directly into customer software and providing advanced tracking systems and real-time updates from collection to delivery.
