Trindade qualifies on a measured drive, not on a reputation. Brasília Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek is 220 km from the centre, 3 hours 16 minutes by road, and it reaches 45 airports nonstop. Those are the two numbers that put the city on the list, and they are the numbers an offer is decided on.
On Board Courier, Trindade
The Trindade courier list. 3 hours 16 minutes to BSB, 45 airports it reaches without a change, and a written fee for every assignment before you accept it.
OnBoard Courier is a United Arab Emirates company, contracted by ICSL FZE and run from Dubai. A city named on this site is a place we cover and route through, not a separate company in that city. Assignments are contracted under UAE law, and the terms are published in full under legal and policies.
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.
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
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
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
Nothing about a trip out of BSB is improvised. The routing, the consignee, the customs position and the return are settled before the desk calls Trindade. 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. What is left to you is the drive, the flight and the handover.
Getting to the aircraft from Trindade
The road distance below is measured, not estimated: 220 km and 3 hours 16 minutes from the centre of Trindade to the terminal at BSB, by the fastest driving route.
3 hours 16 minutes on the road is a real commitment and the desk treats it as one. The offer will say when you need to leave Trindade, and an overnight near BSB is booked and paid for when the timings do not work otherwise. There is no alternative airport for Trindade. When BSB has no suitable departure the assignment moves to another city rather than waiting, and the desk says so rather than pretending.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BSB | Brasília Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek | 220 km | 3 hours 16 minutes | 45 |
Trindade is a city of 142,000 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 Trindade may exist and still not appear in the table above.

What moves out of Trindade
No public industrial file exists here for Trindade, so none is claimed. Urgent hand carry demand in a city this size comes from deadlines, not from a single plant: a court filing, a machine that stopped, a batch that has to be tested.
Why a courier in Trindade is useful to the desk
The commercial case for a name in Trindade is subtraction. Without one, an urgent consignment out of Goiás needs a positioning flight or a truck to a hub. With one it needs 3 hours 16 minutes of driving to BSB and a boarding pass.
The connection to Dubai from Trindade involves a change of aircraft. From Trindade the 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 Trindade 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 3 hours 16 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.
