As Al Ashram explained in this interview with Kitco News, “In the digital age the postal service is needed more than ever, and this became especially clear during the Pandemic. The volume doubled last year in the UAE especially posts and packages related to ecommerce transactions which has witnessed double digit growth globally.”
During Covid Pandemic there were some logistical issues that needed to be resolved and as Al Ashram explains, “We learned a lot and became stronger as we operated daily during the Pandemic and introduced contactless deliveries.” In the future Emirates Post will also be introducing postal lockers for last mile service.
