Posted by | Aug 31, 2004 | |

The highest summertime volumes were recorded on July 17, 2004, with Emirates Post handling a total of 1,112,458 pieces. The record lettermail, half of which was contributed by the postage prepaid segment, has been attributed to the rising stature of the UAE as a business hub and as one of the fastest growing countries in the world.

The all-time high volumes also reflect the overall upbeat mail scenario at Emirates Post during 2004. Daily lettermail volumes were on the rise from the start of the year itself. On January 13, 2004, the daily mail uptake was 734,737 pieces. On February 4, it was as high as 1.09 million, before reaching the all-time high peak on July 17, representing the highest daily letter letter-mail volumes outside the Christmas rush period (which usually sees all-time high volumes each year globally).
