The desk does not ask you to be a logistics professional. It asks you to be reachable, presentable and 2 hours 50 minutes from BSB. Everything else, the booking out of BSB, the paperwork, the customs position and the consignee, is prepared in Dubai before you are called.

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
Some trips out of Goiânia are same day returns and some put you in a hotel while a return consignment is prepared. The offer says which before you accept it. 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 to BSB is 2 hours 50 minutes in either case, and the desk pays for the parking or the transfer.
Getting to the aircraft from Goiânia
What follows is the practical geography of flying out of Goiânia. The nearest usable gate is BSB at 2 hours 50 minutes, and anything else within a sensible drive is listed under it.
Two things follow from a 2 hours 50 minutes drive. The offers you see will carry more notice, and the desk will pay for a room near BSB rather than ask you to start before dawn. Nothing else is close enough to Goiânia to be useful, so BSB carries every assignment. Its 45 nonstop destinations are the ceiling, and the desk plans around that rather than pretending otherwise.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BSB | Brasília Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek | 197 km | 2 hours 50 minutes | 45 |
Goiânia is a city of 1.5 million people in Goiás, 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 Goiânia may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What BSB reaches without a change
The only fact about BSB that changes what you can be offered is its nonstop board: 45 airports, 7 countries, 5 operating carriers. The busiest part of it is set out below.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GRU | São Paulo | São Paulo Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro | about 11 departures a day | 2 operators: LATAM, GOL |
| VCP | Campinas | Campinas Viracopos | about 11 departures a day | 3 operators: LATAM, GOL, Azul |
| CNF | Belo Horizonte | Belo Horizonte Tancredo Neves | about 10 departures a day | 3 operators: LATAM, GOL, Azul |
| SDU | Rio de Janeiro | Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont | about 8 departures a day | 1 operator: LATAM |
| SSA | Salvador | Salvador Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães | about 7 departures a day | 2 operators: LATAM, GOL |
| REC | Recife | Recife Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre | about 6 departures a day | 3 operators: LATAM, GOL, Azul |
| FOR | Fortaleza | Fortaleza Pinto Martins | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: LATAM, GOL |
| POA | Porto Alegre | Porto Alegre Salgado Filho | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: LATAM, GOL |
| BEL | Belem | Val de Cans Julio Cezar | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: LATAM, GOL |
| GYN | Goiânia | Goiânia Santa Genoveva | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: LATAM, GOL |
Counting every airport a courier in Goiânia can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 45 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 Goiânia
No industrial register exists here for Goiânia and none is going to be improvised. Hand carry demand in a city of 1.5 million people is the ordinary kind, driven by a clock rather than by any single factory.
Why a courier in Goiânia is useful to the desk
Being close to BSB is worth more than being in a large city. The desk measures couriers in minutes to the check in desk, and Goiânia measures 2 hours 50 minutes, which puts it ahead of plenty of better known places with worse roads.
From Goiânithe Emirates are reached by way of a hub, and the desk books the whole itinerary on one ticket. From Goiânithe 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 17h 56m gate to gate, so an assignment between Goiânia 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 BSB, 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 2 hours 50 minutes drive to BSB. 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 BSB, 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 Goiânia list
01How far is Goiânia from BSB?
By road it is 197 km and about 2 hours 50 minutes from the centre of Goiânia to Brasília Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek. That figure is a measured driving route, not a straight line, and the desk plans your departure from Goiânia against the check in deadline rather than the take off time.
02What can I reach from Goiânia without a change of aircraft?
BSB serves 45 airports nonstop across 7 countries with 5 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Goiânia can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 45 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Goiânia to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Goiânithe 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 17h 56m gate to gate, so an assignment between Goiânia and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.
04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
No, and that is the point of posting Goiânia separately. The desk needs people near BSB as much as it needs people at DXB. Tell us where you live in Goiânia and how fast you can be at the terminal.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
No. There is no fee to join the Goiânia list and no deposit of any kind. The Academy is AED 199 once, and that AED 199 is added back on top of what you are paid for your first completed assignment.
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.
