The list is worked in order of who can reach the aircraft. A courier 1 hour 32 minutes from BRU is called before one who is three hours away, every time, because the consignment does not wait. That is the practical value of a Roeselare address to this desk.

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 offer names the flight out of BRU, the hour you should leave Roeselare and the fee, all before you commit to anything. The Gulf sector out of BRU is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. You accept in writing, and from that point the desk owns the arrangements and you own the consignment.
Getting to the aircraft from Roeselare
How far Roeselare is from an aircraft: 117 km by road to BRU, 1 hour 32 minutes of it. Any other airport a courier in Roeselare can reach is listed underneath with its own measured drive.
The distance changes the planning rather than the work in Roeselare. From here it is 117 km to BRU, and the desk books a hotel by the terminal when the departure is early. The backup gate for Roeselare is Brussels South Charleroi, 1 hour 36 minutes by road. It carries 127 nonstop destinations, and the desk uses whichever airport has the flight.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRU | Brussels | 117 km | 1 hour 32 minutes | 193 |
| CRL | Brussels South Charleroi | 141 km | 1 hour 36 minutes | 127 |
Roeselare is a city of 56,000 people in Flanders, and the clock there runs 2 hours behind the Emirates in summer and 3 in winter. 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 Roeselare may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What BRU reaches without a change
From BRU the desk can reach 193 airports in 71 countries on a single aircraft. That number, rather than the size of Roeselare, decides how often the phone rings here.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAD | Madrid | Madrid Adolfo Suárez-Barajas | about 11 departures a day | 5 operators: Brussels Airlines, Ryanair, Air Europa |
| BCN | Barcelona | Barcelona | about 11 departures a day | 4 operators: Brussels Airlines, Ryanair, Vueling |

Counting every airport a courier in Roeselare can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 252 airports. Frequencies are average daily flights and change with the season, so the desk checks the live schedule before it offers you anything.

Why a courier in Roeselare is useful to the desk
This is not a branch office in Roeselare and it is not a promise of daily work. It is a list. The desk keeps names near BRU so that when a consignment appears in Flanders there is somebody 1 hour 32 minutes away who can take it.
What a Gulf assignment looks like from Roeselare, without the marketing. From Roeselare the Gulf is a single sector: BRU and DXB are joined nonstop, about 2 departures a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 6h 35m in the air over 5,150 km, and it means a consignment can leave Roeselare 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 BRU and the other airports listed above, between Belgium 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 1 hour 32 minutes drive to BRU. 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 BRU, 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.
