Dubai Customs Air Cargo Handles 1.82M Transactions
The management of air cargo centers at Dubai Customs saw significant growth during the first half of 2026, with customs transactions increasing by approximately 53% to reach 18.2 million transactions. The total weight of shipped consignments also rose by 47%, amounting to 1.3 million tons. This growth reflects the increasing role of cargo centers in supporting trade and e-commerce, alongside ongoing development of customs systems and procedures to meet the rising demand for faster and more efficient shipping operations, helping to establish Dubai as a global hub for trade and logistics services. Additionally, the free zone at the airport experienced a 62% increase in transactions, processing over 6.2 million postal parcels. This shift indicates a move in the nature of commerce toward smaller, faster shipments, driven by initiatives such as the Cross-Border E-Commerce Platform and the increase of the customs exemption limit for electronic goods to 1,000 dirhams, aimed at stimulating sector growth and reducing costs.
