The work is one consignment, one cabin, one signature. You collect it in or near Havířov, you keep it with you, you present the prepared paperwork at customs and you hand it over in person. What makes Havířov useful is that Kraków John Paul II -Balice is only 169 km away, so the collection and the departure can happen in the same afternoon.

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
From the offer to the handover, a trip out of KRK tends to run under thirty hours. 1 hour 48 minutes to Kraków John Paul II -Balice, the sector itself, customs at the far end, and a signature. The Gulf sector out of KRK is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. Everything outside the cabin, the transfers, the hotel where the routing needs one, is booked and paid by the desk.
Getting to the aircraft from Havířov
A courier in Havířov is only as fast as the road in front of them. Havířov to KRK is 169 km, 1 hour 48 minutes, and the airports below are ordered by that drive rather than by size.
1 hour 48 minutes on the road is a real commitment and the desk treats it as one. The offer will say when you need to leave Havířov, and an overnight near KRK is booked and paid for when the timings do not work otherwise. Two gates serve Havířov in practice. BRQ is 2 hours 11 minutes away with 38 nonstop destinations, and the offer always names the airport before you accept it.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KRK | Kraków John Paul II -Balice | 169 km | 1 hour 48 minutes | 135 |
| BRQ | Brno | 180 km | 2 hours 11 minutes | 38 |
Havířov is a city of 83,000 people in Moravian-Silesian Region, and the clock there runs 2 hours behind the Emirates in summer and 3 in winter. 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 Havířov may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What KRK reaches without a change
KRK publishes 135 nonstop routes. For a courier in Havířov that is the difference between waiting for tomorrow and boarding tonight, so the busiest of them are set out below with their operators.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAW | Warsaw | Warsaw Chopin | about 7 departures a day | 1 operator: LOT Polish Airlines |
| AMS | Amsterdam | Amsterdam Schiphol | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: KLM |
| FRA | Frankfurt-am-Main | Frankfurt-am-Main | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: Lufthansa |
| CPH | Copenhagen | Copenhagen Kastrup | about 5 departures a day | 3 operators: Ryanair, Norwegian, SAS |
| BCN | Barcelona | Barcelona | about 4 departures a day | 3 operators: Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT Polish Airlines |
| STN | London | London Stansted | about 4 departures a day | 1 operator: Ryanair |
| MUC | Munich | Munich | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: Lufthansa, Air Dolomiti |
| BGY | Bergamo | Bergamo Orio al Serio | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: Ryanair |
| HEL | Helsinki | Helsinki Vantaa | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: Finnair |
| LGW | London | London Gatwick | about 3 departures a day | 2 operators: Wizz Air, easyJet |
Counting every airport a courier in Havířov can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 152 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 Havířov
No public industrial file is held here for the KRK catchment. Urgent hand carry work around Havířov is driven by deadlines rather than by any one plant: a filing that has to be witnessed, a component that stopped a line, a sample with a clock on it.
Why a courier in Havířov is useful to the desk
There is a second reason Havířov matters, and it is the return leg. A courier who lives here can take a consignment inbound to Moravian-Silesian Region and be home the same evening, which is cheaper and faster than flying somebody out from the Gulf and back.
The Emirates end of an assignment out of Havířov is straightforward. From Havířov the Gulf is a single sector: KRK and DXB are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by flydubai. That is roughly 5h 20m in the air over 4,100 km, and it means a consignment can leave Havířov in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.

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 KRK and the other airports listed above, between the Czechia 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 48 minutes drive to KRK. 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 KRK, 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.
