Emirates Courier Express has grown its footprint in Europe with the start of operations in Germany. Headquartered from 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 into other major cities and towns, Emirates Courier Express will serve the whole of Germany with delivery timelines of just 3 to 5 days.

“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 tailormade 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 shipments time in transit and package handling.
