This is passenger travel with a job attached. You are booked on a scheduled service out of EZE, in the cabin, with a sealed consignment that never leaves you. The reason the desk keeps names in San Vicente is that 36 km of road is a short enough lead time to say yes to a departure the same day.

On Board Courier, San Vicente
The desk keeps a courier list for San Vicente because EZE is close enough to matter: 36 km of road and 58 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.

3

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 EZE, the waiting time, the return, and one fee for all of it. The Gulf sector out of EZE is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. Nothing is deducted afterwards, and the drive of 36 minutes to the airport is part of what the fee is calculated on.
Getting to the aircraft from San Vicente
Reachability, not size, is why San Vicente has a page here. San Vicente qualifies because Buenos Aires Ministro Pistarini is 36 km away by road, 36 minutes, and because that airport publishes a real scheduled nonstop board.
A ground leg of 36 minutes is the standard case here. It leaves room for a delay on the road without putting the check in at EZE in doubt. Where EZE cannot help, AEP sometimes can. It is 1 hour from San Vicente and serves 57 airports without a change of aircraft.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EZE | Buenos Aires Ministro Pistarini | 36 km | 36 minutes | 58 |
| AEP | Jorge Newbery Airfield | 60 km | 1 hour | 57 |
San Vicente is a city of 90,000 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.
What EZE reaches without a change
A gate 36 minutes from San Vicente is only useful if it goes somewhere. EZE goes to 58 airports nonstop in 22 countries, and the heaviest routes on that board are shown here with the airlines that fly them.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRC | San Carlos de Bariloche | San Carlos de Bariloche | about 10 departures a day | 2 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART |

| MDZ | Mendoza | Mendoza El Plumerillo | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART |
Counting every airport a courier in San Vicente can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 82 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 San Vicente
This site publishes an industrial register for some airports and not for EZE, so nothing is claimed here. What can be said honestly is that San Vicente 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 San Vicente is useful to the desk
What the desk buys when it books a courier in San Vicente is the ground half of a delivery. The flying out of EZE is easy to arrange. Getting a trustworthy person and a sealed consignment to EZE inside a few hours is the part that fails, and 36 minutes is why it does not fail here.
How a consignment gets between EZE and the Emirates. From San Vicente the Gulf is a single sector: EZE and DWC are joined nonstop, about 2 departures a week, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 16h 46m in the air over 13,700 km, and it means a consignment can leave San Vicente in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.

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 EZE 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 36 minutes drive to EZE. 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 EZE, 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 Vicente list
01How far is San Vicente from EZE?
From the centre of San Vicente the drive is 36 km and roughly 36 minutes. Where the departure is early enough to make that uncomfortable, the desk books a room near EZE instead.
02What can I reach from San Vicente without a change of aircraft?
EZE serves 58 airports nonstop across 22 countries with 37 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in San Vicente can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 82 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from San Vicente to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From San Vicente the Gulf is a single sector: EZE and DWC are joined nonstop, about 2 departures a week, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 16h 46m in the air over 13,700 km, and it means a consignment can leave San Vicente in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.
04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
No. Most assignments touch the Emirates because the desk is there, but couriers on this list live in San Vicente and fly from EZE. Being in San Vicente changes which offers you see, not whether you can be on the list.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
No. Applying is free, screening is free, and being on the San Vicente list is free. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and it comes back in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier in San Vicente ever makes to us.
06How is my fee agreed?
The desk sends the routing, the timing and the fee for that specific assignment in writing. You accept or decline it. Nothing is deducted or charged without your written agreement.
