Dubai Customs, Emirates to connect air–sea ops

Dubai Customs and Emirates SkyCargo are moving into a new phase of logistics integration aimed at making global supply chains stronger and more reliable. The focus is on connecting air and sea freight operations to ensure goods move faster through Dubai with fewer delays. 

Dubai Customs is also advancing its use of smart inspection technology at Jebel Ali Port. Modern X-ray systems now allow containers, vehicles, and oversized cargo to be screened in minutes instead of hours, while maintaining high safety and compliance standards. This speeds up clearance without slowing trade. 

By linking digital systems across seaports and air cargo centres, shipments can be tracked more accurately as they move from ships to aircraft. This integration helps reduce handling time, improve efficiency, and support businesses that depend on smooth and predictable cargo flows.  

For Emirates SkyCargo, closer alignment with customs systems supports better planning and more reliable delivery across its global network. Accurate data sharing helps ensure cargo reaches its destination on time and in full compliance with regulations. 

Together, Dubai Customs and Emirates SkyCargo are building a more connected logistics environment. The next phase will focus on deeper integration and smart solutions that strengthen Dubai’s role as a global trade hub linking East and West.
