Established in 1985 as the airfreight division of Emirates, we are the largest international cargo airline in the world. We connect the world’s supply chains through 300+ destinations across 80 countries in 6 continents through Emirates SkyCentral, our operations hub at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC).

Our story takes flight

We might be a business with local roots, but we have serious global ambition. Taking off from Dubai in 1985, we began our passenger and cargo operations with just two aircraft travelling to Mumbai and Karachi. Our strategic location within the Middle East enabled us to quickly become the epicentre for global trade.

30 years on

With over three decades of experience under our belt, we have since expanded our business to offer a fleet size of over 270 wide-bodied aircraft, 11 of those being dedicated freighters. Our ongoing commitment to innovation has allowed us to continuously increase our cargo capacity and develop specialised products that meet the growing needs of our customers.

Dubai, 07 December 2022: Customers based in the UAE can now enjoy fast delivery on their shopping from the UK with Emirates Delivers.

Emirates Delivers, the e-commerce platform of Emirates SkyCargo, enables customers to shop from multiple online retailers in the UK, consolidate their purchases, and have the goods delivered directly to their door.

Thousands of UAE-based shoppers have been using Emirates Delivers to shop from US retailers since it launched in 2019. The introduction of Emirates Delivers UK is a welcome addition just in time for last minute festive shopping from some of the UK’s biggest and most loved brands, with the strong dollar adding to the attraction of online shopping from UK retailers.

Emirates Delivers is a fast, reliable, and cost-effective e-commerce shipping solution for both individual customers, as well as small businesses who regularly make online purchases for their personal or business needs. It is an open e-commerce fulfilment platform that can also be used by other e-commerce businesses and logistics integrators.

Customers can take advantage of the competitive shipping rates offered by Emirates Delivers to move their goods from the UK to Dubai. Customers also benefit from reduced shipping weight as unneeded packaging material from each individual shipment is removed when Emirates Delivers repack the goods into one consolidated box.

To use Emirates Delivers UK, customers have to register on www.emiratesdelivers.uk to be allocated a unique and free Emirates Delivers mailing address in the UK. Registration is free. Customers already signed-up to the Emirates Delivers US service can use a handy drop-down link in the menu after logging onto their accounts.

Customers can track their packages with Emirates Delivers from the moment it reaches the warehouse in the UK to the moment it lands on their doorstep in the UAE.

A dedicated fleet of Emirates Delivers vans are deployed to complete the final step of the process dropping all consolidated shopping in one box to the customer’s doorstep anywhere in the UAE within the three to five day period.
