What the desk actually needs from Limeira is proximity to a gate. An assignment appears when something has to leave São Paulo by a deadline no freight product will promise. The question is then very simple: who is close enough to CGH to check in for the next departure. From Limeira that is 1 hour 54 minutes of driving, which is why the city is on the list at all.

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
There is no roster and no shift on the Limeira list. An assignment is a single trip: accept the offer, collect, drive 153 km to CGH, board, land, clear, hand over. 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. Then you go home or you wait for a return leg, and the desk books and pays for either.
Getting to the aircraft from Limeira
The ground leg from Limeira is 153 km to São Paulo Congonhas, about 1 hour 54 minutes. Where a second airport is within reach of Limeira it is listed too, because the desk will use whichever one has the flight.
The distance from Limeira to CGH is 153 km, and the desk plans it as a leg in its own right: an earlier start, a paid transfer, or a hotel by the terminal. A courier in Limeira is not stuck with one board. GRU at 2 hours 2 minutes carries 111 nonstop destinations of its own, which is what stops a cancellation ending an assignment.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CGH | São Paulo Congonhas | 153 km | 1 hour 54 minutes | 42 |
| GRU | São Paulo Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro | 164 km | 2 hours 2 minutes | 111 |
Limeira is a city of 292,000 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 Limeira may exist and still not appear in the table above.

What moves out of Limeira
The site holds no public industrial map for CGH, so this section says less rather than guessing. Consignments out of Limeira are typically documents, spare parts, samples and small valuables that missed a cut off.
Why a courier in Limeira is useful to the desk
A courier based in Limeira is useful to a Dubai desk for a reason that has nothing to do with Limeira being famous. It is that the desk can position a person at CGH inside 1 hour 54 minutes of a phone call, and CGH has somewhere to send them.
Nothing flies CGH to the Emirates without a stop, so here is the honest version. From Limeirthe 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 16h 59m gate to gate, so an assignment between Limeira 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 CGH 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 54 minutes drive to CGH. 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 CGH, 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.
