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

Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
A trip out of Bragança Paulista has four fixed points: the collection, the 1 hour 20 minutes drive to GRU, the sector itself and the signature at the far end. The Gulf sector out of GRU is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. Everything between them is arranged by the desk and confirmed to you in writing.
Getting to the aircraft from Bragança Paulista
The drive is the honest half of this work. Bragança Paulista to São Paulo Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro is 86 km and about 1 hour 20 minutes, and an assignment is planned backwards from the bag drop rather than from the departure.
At 86 km the drive is the part most likely to go wrong, so the desk over allows for it: an earlier start from Bragança Paulista, or a hotel by GRU the night before, paid by us. The alternative from Bragança Paulista is CGH, 1 hour 33 minutes by road and 42 nonstop destinations. Two usable gates is why Bragança Paulista stays on this list when one airline rewrites its schedule.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GRU | São Paulo Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro | 86 km | 1 hour 20 minutes | 111 |
| CGH | São Paulo Congonhas | 97 km | 1 hour 33 minutes | 42 |
Bragança Paulista is a city of 177,000 people in São Paulo, 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 Bragança Paulista may exist and still not appear in the table above.

Why a courier in Bragança Paulista is useful to the desk
A courier in Bragança Paulista shortens the chain by one link. Without one, an urgent consignment out of São Paulo has to be trucked to a hub or flown out with somebody sent from elsewhere. With one, it is 1 hour 20 minutes of driving and a boarding pass.
For assignments that touch the Emirates the routing out of GRU is simple. From Bragança Paulistthe Gulf is a single sector: GRU and DXB are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 14h 58m in the air over 12,200 km, and it means a consignment can leave Bragança Paulista 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 GRU and the other airports listed above, between Brazil 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 20 minutes drive to GRU. 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 GRU, 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.
