Speed here is measured door to gate, and yours is 2 hours 33 minutes. When a consignment misses its window it usually misses it on the ground, not in the air. San Nicolás de los Arroyos is on the courier list because the ground half is short: 235 km to Jorge Newbery Airfield, then the 57 destinations it serves without a change.

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
The desk calls, you answer, and the clock starts. 2 hours 33 minutes to Jorge Newbery Airfield, boarding pass already issued, consignment in the cabin. 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. You hand over to a named person, you photograph the handover, and the assignment is closed in the portal the same day.
Getting to the aircraft from San Nicolás de los Arroyos
Road, not air, decides whether San Nicolás de los Arroyos gets the call. From San Nicolás de los Arroyos it is 235 km to AEP and 2 hours 33 minutes behind the wheel, and the desk holds you to the check in time rather than the departure time.
The distance from San Nicolás de los Arroyos to AEP is 235 km, and the desk plans it as a leg in its own right: an earlier start, a paid transfer, or a hotel by the terminal. San Nicolás de los Arroyos is not tied to one gate. EZE is 2 hours 55 minutes from San Nicolás de los Arroyos and serves 58 nonstop destinations of its own, and the desk uses whichever airport has the flight rather than whichever is nearest.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AEP | Jorge Newbery Airfield | 235 km | 2 hours 33 minutes | 57 |
| EZE | Buenos Aires Ministro Pistarini | 259 km | 2 hours 55 minutes | 58 |
San Nicolás de los Arroyos is a city of 134,000 people in Buenos Aires, 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 Nicolás de los Arroyos may exist and still not appear in the table above.

What moves out of San Nicolás de los Arroyos
There is no public industrial file for the AEP catchment on this site, and inventing one would make the page worse. Urgent work around San Nicolás de los Arroyos comes from deadlines: a filing, a component, a batch that has to be tested somewhere else.
Why a courier in San Nicolás de los Arroyos is useful to the desk
Inbound work into Buenos Aires is the quiet half of this. Consignments arrive into Buenos Aires as often as they leave it, and somebody has to meet the aircraft at AEP and complete the handover. A courier who already lives 2 hours 33 minutes away is the obvious answer.
The connection is the part worth understanding before you accept anything out of AEP. From San Nicolás de los Arroyos 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 San Nicolás de los Arroyos 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 and the other airports listed above, 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 2 hours 33 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.
