A courier in Sumaré is called because of the road, not the postcode. São Paulo Congonhas is 126 km away and reaches 42 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave São Paulo today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 1 hour 32 minutes.

On Board Courier, Sumaré

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
You will usually know the day before, sometimes only in the morning. The desk sends the routing out of CGH, the sealed consignment reaches you or you collect it, and the drive of 1 hour 32 minutes is timed backwards from the check in deadline rather than the departure. 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.
Getting to the aircraft from Sumaré
Measured door to terminal, Sumaré to CGH is 126 km and 1 hour 32 minutes. That is the number the desk uses when it decides whether to call Sumaré for a departure this evening.
Two things follow from a 1 hour 32 minutes drive. The offers you see will carry more notice, and the desk will pay for a room near CGH rather than ask you to start before dawn. Where CGH cannot help, GRU sometimes can. It is 1 hour 39 minutes from Sumaré and serves 111 airports without a change of aircraft.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CGH | São Paulo Congonhas | 126 km | 1 hour 32 minutes | 42 |
| GRU | São Paulo Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro | 136 km | 1 hour 39 minutes | 111 |
Sumaré is a city of 280,000 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 Sumaré may exist and still not appear in the table above.

What moves out of Sumaré
The site does not hold a public industrial file for the CGH catchment, so this page will not invent one. What it can say honestly is that Sumaré generates the ordinary urgent traffic every working city generates: signed originals, spare parts, samples and small high value items that missed a cut off.
Why a courier in Sumaré is useful to the desk
The value of a Sumaré address is timing. When a consignment has to leave São Paulo today, the desk needs a name that is 1 hour 32 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
What a Gulf assignment out of Sumaré looks like on a ticket. From Sumaré 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 16h 59m gate to gate, so an assignment between Sumaré 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 32 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.
Questions about the Sumaré list
01How far is Sumaré from CGH?
By road it is 126 km and about 1 hour 32 minutes from the centre of Sumaré to São Paulo Congonhas. That figure is a measured driving route, not a straight line, and the desk plans your departure from Sumaré against the check in deadline rather than the take off time.
02What can I reach from Sumaré without a change of aircraft?
CGH serves 42 airports nonstop across 1 countries with 4 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Sumaré can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 117 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Sumaré to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Sumaré 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 16h 59m gate to gate, so an assignment between Sumaré 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 Sumaré separately. The desk needs people near CGH as much as it needs people at DXB. Tell us where you live in Sumaré and how fast you can be at the terminal.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
Applying costs nothing and always will. A courier on the Sumaré list makes exactly one payment to us, the AED 199 Academy, and gets it back in full with the fee for the first assignment they complete.
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.
