The list is worked in order of who can reach the aircraft. A courier 16 minutes from SSA is called before one who is three hours away, every time, because the consignment does not wait. That is the practical value of a Lauro de Freitas 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 SSA, the hour you should leave Lauro de Freitas and the fee, all before you commit to anything. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of GIG, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. You accept in writing, and from that point the desk owns the arrangements and you own the consignment.
Getting to the aircraft from Lauro de Freitas
How far Lauro de Freitas is from an aircraft: 11 km by road to SSA, 16 minutes of it. Any other airport a courier in Lauro de Freitas can reach is listed underneath with its own measured drive.
At 16 minutes this is one of the shorter drives on the whole courier list, which means the desk can call you late and still make a departure. Everything out of Lauro de Freitas runs through SSA, because nothing else is within a sensible drive. Its 31 nonstop destinations are the honest limit of what you can be offered here.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SSA | Salvador Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães | 11 km | 16 minutes | 31 |
Lauro de Freitas is a city of 203,000 people in Bahia, 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 moves out of Lauro de Freitas
There is no published industrial map for the SSA area on this site, and a page that made one up would be worthless. The traffic out of Lauro de Freitas is the normal kind: documents that have to be witnessed, parts that stopped something, and samples with a clock on them.
Why a courier in Lauro de Freitas is useful to the desk
This is not a branch office in Lauro de Freitas and it is not a promise of daily work. It is a list. The desk keeps names near SSA so that when a consignment appears in Bahia there is somebody 16 minutes away who can take it.
Honesty about the routing out of SSA matters more than a good headline. From Lauro de Freitas the best single change is Rio de Janeiro (GIG), and GIG to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 18h 00m gate to gate, so an assignment between Lauro de Freitas 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 SSA, 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 16 minutes drive to SSA. 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 SSA, 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 Lauro de Freitas list
01How far is Lauro de Freitas from SSA?
16 minutes and 11 km on a measured route. Whether that is a comfortable drive depends on the hour, so the offer names the time you should leave Lauro de Freitas rather than only the departure time.
02What can I reach from Lauro de Freitas without a change of aircraft?
SSA serves 31 airports nonstop across 7 countries with 9 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Lauro de Freitas can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 31 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Lauro de Freitas to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Lauro de Freitas the best single change is Rio de Janeiro (GIG), and GIG to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 18h 00m gate to gate, so an assignment between Lauro de Freitas 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. The company is Emirati and the coordination happens in Dubai, but couriers live in places like Lauro de Freitas. The Lauro de Freitas list exists because somebody has to be near SSA when a consignment appears in Bahia.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
No. The Lauro de Freitas list is free to join and free to stay on. The only money that moves from you to us is the AED 199 Academy, paid once, and it comes back on top of the fee for your first completed assignment.
