Emirates SkyCargo, Emirates Post to turn Dubai as global eCommerce hub

Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates airline, and Emirates Post Group (EPG) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Dubai Airshow to develop an eCommerce end-to-end global logistics platform, with a key focus on serving markets in the Middle East, Africa and West Asia.

The MoU was signed by Mr. Nabil Sultan, Divisional Senior Vice President at Emirates, Cargo and by Mr. Abdulla Mohammed Al Ashram, Group CEO of EPG.

This will be a first-of-its-kind partnership between an airline cargo carrier and a national postal operator combining the global network and capacity strengths of Emirates SkyCargo with the last-mile delivery expertise and partnerships of EPG’s ‘Emirates Post’ business.

Dubai serves as a gateway to a major consumer market and nearly two-thirds of the total global population can be reached within an eight-hour flight from Dubai and this forms an attractive proposition for eCommerce players aiming to deliver goods to customers within the shortest possible time.

With its sophisticated transport links, transit hubs and supply chain infrastructure, Dubai is also well-positioned to handle global flows and volumes of eCommerce cargo.
