Smart logistics provider Cainiao has launched an express delivery service in six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, enabling e-commerce platforms to fulfill their logistics needs across the countries in as little as three days.

The service is available in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, offering a range of air and ground shipping options to meet the needs of cross-border and local e-commerce platforms.

According to Cainiao, its air freight service ensures delivery between nations in as little as three days, while cost-effective overland shipping reaches any city in six to eight days.

“Building a global smart parcel network is central to Cainiao’s core strategy, and the Middle East is a key region within our global footprint,” said William Xiong, senior vice president and general manager of cross-border at Cainiao Group. “Setting up this cross-border network across the six GCC countries is a meaningful step forward in how we serve the region.

“Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our global network, listening to local needs and working closely with our partners to offer even better and more efficient cross-border logistics solutions.”
