Transportation provider Aramex International has moved its regional courier hub to the Express Mail Centre (EMC), which was today inaugurated by President of the Department of Civil Aviation and Chairman of Emirates Group, Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum.
Aramex International is the first transportation and logistics service provider to move its regional courier-handling hub to the new facility and occupies the largest area in the site.
The EMC's total built-up area of 4,000 square meters constitutes DNATA's screening and customs offices including X-ray and security, a conveyor belt for the transfer of packages throughout the facility and a fully equipped warehouse.
Aramex's courier hub facility will serve as the company's one-stop site for handling inbound and outbound courier packages and complete on-the-spot customs clearance of consignments. Aramex Hub facility will handle the entire process of receiving and dispatching courier packages to over 250 origins and destinations. The service provider manages a transshipment volume of approximately 300,000 kilos per month.
Aramex is increasing its presence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by investing three million dollars to expand its facilities in Jebel Ali, benefiting from Dubai's position as the Middle East hub. In 2003, Dubai Cargo Village handled nearly 12,800 tons of courier consignments. It is ideally located at the Dubai International Airport. — (menareport.com)
