Nicolas Sibuet, Acting Group Chief Executive Officer during the past period said: “We entered 2026 on a strong footing, building on the momentum established in December with the Company having reported a record month and carrying this into January and February, where performance exceeded expectations across key parts of the business. While, Logistics continued its standout trajectory, Domestic Express maintained strong volume growth, and our Accelerate28 program began delivering tangible cost efficiencies; all of which reflect the hard work of our teams and the progress we have made in igniting transformation across the business.
The operating environment became more complex in March with the outbreak of regional conflict disrupting trade activity and business confidence across the Gulf, with disruptions affecting parts of the network. Our priority throughout this period was the safety and wellbeing of our people while ensuring the continuity of our operations to serve our Customers and the Middle East region. Our teams responded with speed, adapting routes and leveraging our network flexibility to maintain service delivery.
Overall, the quarter highlights the resilience of our people, our operating model and the tangible progress being made under Accelerate28. As I hand over leadership to Amadou Diallo, who joins as Group Chief Executive Officer on 1 May, I do so with confidence in the strength of the Group’s foundation. Aramex enters this next chapter with clear strategic direction, and the momentum to deliver sustainable, long-term growth.”
Amadou Diallo, Group Chief Executive Officer, said: “The first quarter of 2026 underscores the resilience of our business and the strength of our network. As we look ahead, we remain focused on disciplined execution, accelerating our strategic priorities, and delivering sustainable value across our operations.”
