The list is worked in order of who can reach the aircraft. A courier 2 hours 40 minutes from CTG is called before one who is three hours away, every time, because the consignment does not wait. That is the practical value of a Sincelejo 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 CTG, the hour you should leave Sincelejo and the fee, all before you commit to anything. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of MIA, 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 Sincelejo
How far Sincelejo is from an aircraft: 191 km by road to CTG, 2 hours 40 minutes of it. Any other airport a courier in Sincelejo can reach is listed underneath with its own measured drive.
191 km is a long ground leg by the standards of this list. At 2 hours 40 minutes the desk treats the drive as part of the assignment, plans it explicitly, and will book you into a hotel by CTG the night before rather than gamble on an early start. Everything out of Sincelejo runs through CTG, because nothing else is within a sensible drive. Its 19 nonstop destinations are the honest limit of what you can be offered here.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CTG | Cartagena de Indias Rafael Nuñez | 191 km | 2 hours 40 minutes | 19 |
Sincelejo is a city of 278,000 people in Sucre Department, and the clock there runs 9 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 Sincelejo may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What CTG reaches without a change
From CTG the desk can reach 19 airports in 8 countries on a single aircraft. That number, rather than the size of Sincelejo, decides how often the phone rings here.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOG | Bogotá | Bogotá El Dorado | about 34 departures a day | 4 operators: Avianca, JetSMART, LATAM |
| MDE | Rionegro | Rionegro Jose Maria Córdova | about 18 departures a day | 4 operators: Avianca, JetSMART |
| PTY | Tocumen | Tocumen | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: Copa Airlines |
| CLO | Santiago de Cali | Santiago de Cali Alfonso Bonilla Aragon | about 4 departures a day | 3 operators: Avianca, JetSMART, LATAM |
| ADZ | San Andrés | San Andrés Gustavo Rojas Pinilla | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: LATAM |
| MIA | Miami | Miami | about 2 departures a day | 1 operator: American Airlines |
| BGA | Bucaramanga | Bucaramanga Palonegro | about one departure a day | 2 operators: Avianca |
| PEI | Pereira | Pereira Matecaña | about one departure a day | 2 operators: Avianca, JetSMART |
| FLL | Fort Lauderdale | Fort Lauderdale Hollywood | about one departure a day | 1 operator: JetBlue |
| MEX | Mexico City | Mexico City Licenciado Benito Juarez | about one departure a day | 1 operator: Aeromexico |
Counting every airport a courier in Sincelejo can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 19 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 Sincelejo
There is no published industrial map for the CTG area on this site, and a page that made one up would be worthless. The traffic out of Sincelejo 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 Sincelejo is useful to the desk
This is not a branch office in Sincelejo and it is not a promise of daily work. It is a list. The desk keeps names near CTG so that when a consignment appears in Sucre Department there is somebody 2 hours 40 minutes away who can take it.
Honesty about the routing out of CTG matters more than a good headline. From Sincelejo the best single change is Miami (MIA), and MIA to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 19h 33m gate to gate, so an assignment between Sincelejo 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 CTG, between Colombia 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 40 minutes drive to CTG. 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 CTG, 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 Sincelejo list
01How far is Sincelejo from CTG?
2 hours 40 minutes and 191 km on a measured route. Whether that is a comfortable drive depends on the hour, so the offer names the time you should leave Sincelejo rather than only the departure time.
02What can I reach from Sincelejo without a change of aircraft?
CTG serves 19 airports nonstop across 8 countries with 14 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Sincelejo can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 19 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Sincelejo to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Sincelejo the best single change is Miami (MIA), and MIA to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 19h 33m gate to gate, so an assignment between Sincelejo 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 Sincelejo. The Sincelejo list exists because somebody has to be near CTG when a consignment appears in Sucre Department.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
No. The Sincelejo 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.
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.
Apply to fly out of CTG
It costs nothing to be on the Sincelejo list and nothing to say no. Tell us how quickly you can be at CTG and we will take it from there.
