October 15, 2019: Emirates SkyCargo has today launched a new e-commerce delivery platform, Emirates Delivers, that allows customers to shop from retailers in the US and have the goods delivered at their doorsteps.
Now available to customers in the UAE, emiratesdelivers.com is in line with Dubai’s vision to become as a global hub for e-commerce, as envisioned under the Dubai Silk Road Strategy announced by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai in March 2019.
This is line with the Dubai Silk Road Strategy announced earlier this year by HH Sheikh Hamdan which aims to strengthen Dubai’s position as a key trade and logistics hub.
Talking to STAT Media, earlier during the Air Cargo Europe in Munich, Nabil Sultan said, “E-commerce is the biggest emerging vertical, which at least in Middle East, Asia and Africa is growing exponentially”.
“The e-commerce industry has grown by more than 150% in the last five years and we have been working with industry partners to develop an ideal delivery platform that can harness the power of Emirates’ modern fleet, expansive global network and multiple flight frequencies together with using Dubai’s strategic position to deliver optimal value to our end customers.
Customers have the flexibility to create a shipping request anytime within these 30 days and have their purchases consolidated into one parcel and have this delivered to their designated UAE address.
