Assignments are offered, never assigned. The desk sends the routing, the timings and the fee for one specific trip out of MDZ, and you accept it or you do not. Living 3 hours 6 minutes from the terminal simply means you see more of them, because the offers go out in order of who can physically make the flight.

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

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
You travel light and you travel as yourself. Passport, phone, the consignment and whatever you need for one or two nights away from San Luis. 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. The drive from San Luis to MDZ is 3 hours 6 minutes, and the desk builds the timings around it rather than around the timetable alone.
Getting to the aircraft from San Luis
The airports a courier in San Luis can actually use are listed below, nearest first by driving time. MDZ leads at 3 hours 6 minutes and 268 km.
A 3 hours 6 minutes drive changes how an assignment out of San Luis is planned rather than whether it happens. The notice is longer, and the desk pays for a room by MDZ when the departure is early. MDZ is the whole of the San Luis picture: 12 nonstop destinations, 3 hours 6 minutes of road, and no fallback gate within reach.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDZ | Mendoza El Plumerillo | 268 km | 3 hours 6 minutes | 12 |
San Luis is a city of 170,000 people in San Luis, 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 San Luis may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What MDZ reaches without a change
Nonstop reach decides how quickly a consignment leaves San Luis. MDZ serves 12 airports directly in 6 countries, and these are the routes with the most departures.

What moves out of San Luis
This site keeps a public register of industrial sites for some airports, and MDZ is not one of them. Rather than guess, the honest statement is that assignments from San Luis are driven by deadlines rather than by any one factory: contracts, components, samples and valuables.
Why a courier in San Luis is useful to the desk
The desk would rather use a courier who already lives in San Luis than fly one in. It costs less, it is faster, and it removes an entire positioning flight into MDZ from the timeline. That is the whole commercial case for keeping names in San Luis, 3 hours 6 minutes from MDZ.
The Gulf routing out of MDZ is a connection, and the desk plans it as one. From San Luis 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 19h 46m gate to gate, so an assignment between San Luis 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 MDZ, 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 6 minutes drive to MDZ. 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 MDZ, 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 San Luis list
01How far is San Luis from MDZ?

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

04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
