GCC postal units to set up logistics firm
Postal corporations of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States are working to set up a regional level logistics company, according to a Q-Post official. An international consulting firm is conducting a feasibility study, he said. The consultant is expected to complete the study shortly.
The official said discussions on the need for such a company would be held at the forthcoming GCC Postal Meet to be held in Jeddah later this month.
The GCC postal forum’s plans to acquire aircraft on lease to carry mail will also figure at the Jeddah talks.
The official said at present only Emirates Post operates courier aircraft to select destinations in Asia and Europe.
