Every assignment starts with an airport, and yours is BRQ. The desk holds a consignment that is late, valuable or perishable, finds the first departure that fits, and then looks for a courier who can be at the counter in time. Zlín is 1 hour 14 minutes out, which puts you inside the window for most of 38 nonstop destinations.

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 Zlín list. An assignment is a single trip: accept the offer, collect, drive 96 km to BRQ, board, land, clear, hand over. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of AYT, 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 Zlín
The ground leg from Zlín is 96 km to Brno, about 1 hour 14 minutes. Where a second airport is within reach of Zlín it is listed too, because the desk will use whichever one has the flight.
A drive of 1 hour 14 minutes is comfortable for a same day departure as long as the call comes with a couple of hours in hand, which most do. Zlín has more than one way out, which is unusual and useful. BTS at 2 hours 25 minutes adds 88 nonstop destinations to the 38 at BRQ.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRQ | Brno | 96 km | 1 hour 14 minutes | 38 |
| BTS | Bratislava M. R. Štefánik | 178 km | 2 hours 25 minutes | 88 |
Zlín is a city of 73,000 people in Zlín, 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.
What BRQ reaches without a change
Scheduled reach from Brno: 38 nonstop destinations, 17 countries, 11 operating carriers. Frequencies below are average daily flights from the site’s own route data.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AYT | Antalya | Antalya | about 2 departures a day | 3 operators |
| HRG | Hurghada | Hurghada | about one departure a day | 2 operators |
| BOJ | Burgas | Burgas | about one departure a day | 2 operators |
| OSR | Ostrava | Ostrava Leos Janáček | about one departure a day | 1 operator |
| RMF | Marsa Alam | Marsa Alam | about one departure a day | 2 operators |
| HER | Heraklion | Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis | about one departure a day | 1 operator |
| RHO | Rodes Island | Rodes Island Diagoras | about one departure a day | 2 operators |
| PMI | Palma De Mallorca | Palma De Mallorca | about 5 departures a week | 2 operators |
| VAR | Varna | Varna | about 5 departures a week | 2 operators |
| CFU | Kerkyra Island | Kerkyra Island Corfu | about 4 departures a week | 1 operator |
Counting every airport a courier in Zlín can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 101 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 Zlín
The site holds no public industrial map for BRQ, so this section says less rather than guessing. Consignments out of Zlín are typically documents, spare parts, samples and small valuables that missed a cut off.
Why a courier in Zlín is useful to the desk
Hand carry is a business of catchments, and Zlín is inside one. Zlín sits inside the catchment of Brno, 96 km out, which means a consignment collected in the city in the morning is airborne the same day rather than the next one.
The connection to Dubai from Zlín involves a change of aircraft. From Zlín the best single change is Antalya (AYT), and AYT to DXB is flown by flydubai, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 7h 38m gate to gate, so an assignment between Zlín 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 BRQ 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 14 minutes drive to BRQ. 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 BRQ, 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 Zlín list
01How far is Zlín from BRQ?
1 hour 14 minutes and 96 km on a measured route. Whether that is a comfortable drive depends on the hour, so the offer names the time you should leave Zlín rather than only the departure time.
02What can I reach from Zlín without a change of aircraft?
BRQ serves 38 airports nonstop across 17 countries with 11 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Zlín can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 101 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Zlín to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Zlín the best single change is Antalya (AYT), and AYT to DXB is flown by flydubai, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 7h 38m gate to gate, so an assignment between Zlín 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 Zlín. The Zlín list exists because somebody has to be near BRQ when a consignment appears in Zlín.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
It is free to apply from Zlín and free to be screened. The one charge anywhere in the process is the AED 199 Academy, paid once and refunded on top of your first assignment fee.
06How is my fee agreed?
The offer, the routing out of BRQ and the fee arrive together. You reply yes or no, and the yes is the agreement for that single trip out of BRQ.
