This is passenger travel with a job attached. You are booked on a scheduled service out of AEP, in the cabin, with a sealed consignment that never leaves you. The reason the desk keeps names in Rosario is that 299 km of road is a short enough lead time to say yes to a departure the same day.

On Board Courier, Rosario
The desk keeps a courier list for Rosario because AEP is close enough to matter: 299 km of road and 57 nonstop destinations from the terminal you walk into.
OnBoard Courier is a United Arab Emirates company, contracted by ICSL FZE and run from Dubai. A city named on this site is a place we cover and route through, not a separate company in that city. Assignments are contracted under UAE law, and the terms are published in full under legal and policies.

What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Top published feeAED 2,000The highest fee the site shows for a single assignment: sealed medical samples in a cooled case, Dubai to Singapore.
Published band, per assignmentAED 900 to 2,600A document pouch to London is AED 1,200, an aircraft part to Frankfurt AED 1,500, an escorted watch on the Berlin lane AED 1,800.
What the flight costs youAED 0The desk books and pays the ticket, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never fronts the fare.
The one payment you makeAED 199, returnedThe Academy, paid once. It comes back in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. Applying itself is free.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.

How to start, in four steps
1
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
2
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
3
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
4
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
An assignment is quoted as a whole: the routing from AEP, the waiting time, the return, and one fee for all of it. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of GRU, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. Nothing is deducted afterwards, and the drive of 3 hours 14 minutes to the airport is part of what the fee is calculated on.
Getting to the aircraft from Rosario
Reachability, not size, is why Rosario has a page here. Rosario qualifies because Jorge Newbery Airfield is 299 km away by road, 3 hours 14 minutes, and because that airport publishes a real scheduled nonstop board.
3 hours 14 minutes behind the wheel is a real commitment, and both the notice and the fee reflect it. Where the flight out of AEP leaves early, the desk books you in nearby the night before. There is no second gate within reach of Rosario. Everything runs through AEP, and its 57 nonstop destinations are what the desk has to work with.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AEP | Jorge Newbery Airfield | 299 km | 3 hours 14 minutes | 57 |
Rosario is a city of 948,000 people in Santa Fe, and the clock there runs 7 hours behind the Emirates all year. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes. Only airports this site publishes a scheduled nonstop board for are listed, so a smaller field nearer Rosario may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What AEP reaches without a change
A gate 3 hours 14 minutes from Rosario is only useful if it goes somewhere. AEP goes to 57 airports nonstop in 8 countries, and the heaviest routes on that board are shown here with the airlines that fly them.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| COR | Córdoba | Córdoba Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella | about 16 departures a day | 3 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART |
| BRC | San Carlos de Bariloche | San Carlos de Bariloche | about 15 departures a day | 3 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART |
| GRU | São Paulo | São Paulo Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro | about 14 departures a day | 4 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, GOL, LATAM |
| SCL | Santiago | Santiago Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez | about 13 departures a day | 5 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART, LATAM |
| MDZ | Mendoza | Mendoza El Plumerillo | about 12 departures a day | 3 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART |

| GIG | Rio de Janeiro | Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão-Tom Jobim | about 9 departures a day | 4 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART, GOL |

| TUC | Tucumán | Tucumán Teniente Benjamin Matienzo | about 8 departures a day | 3 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART |
Counting every airport a courier in Rosario can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 57 airports. Frequencies are average daily flights and change with the season, so the desk checks the live schedule before it offers you anything.
What moves out of Rosario
This site publishes an industrial register for some airports and not for AEP, so nothing is claimed here. What can be said honestly is that Rosario produces the traffic every working city produces: originals that have to be signed, parts that stopped a line, and samples with a shelf life.
Why a courier in Rosario is useful to the desk
What the desk buys when it books a courier in Rosario is the ground half of a delivery. The flying out of AEP is easy to arrange. Getting a trustworthy person and a sealed consignment to AEP inside a few hours is the part that fails, and 3 hours 14 minutes is why it does not fail here.
What a Gulf assignment out of Rosario looks like on a ticket. From Rosario the best single change is São Paulo (GRU), and GRU to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 18h 56m gate to gate, so an assignment between Rosario and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of AEP, between Argentina and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 3 hours 14 minutes drive to AEP. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach AEP, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
Questions about the Rosario list
01How far is Rosario from AEP?
From the centre of Rosario the drive is 299 km and roughly 3 hours 14 minutes. Where the departure is early enough to make that uncomfortable, the desk books a room near AEP instead.
02What can I reach from Rosario without a change of aircraft?

03Getting from Rosario to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Rosario the best single change is São Paulo (GRU), and GRU to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day.
