“Tt’s a little more complicated because there’s more regulation around personal to personal (delivery). We're not doing that just yet, but it will hopefully come next year. Watch the space,” Dennis Lister, senior vice president of product and innovation at Emirates SkyCargo, told Khaleej Times in an interview.

Due to the safety aspect, the service prioritises known shippers in the initial stage enabling end-to-end integrity of the shipment from start to finish. “We are building the processes and procedures to cater for them in the future, We’ll more likely start in the UAE market first,” he added.
