The work is one consignment, one cabin, one signature. You collect it in or near Antony, you keep it with you, you present the prepared paperwork at customs and you hand it over in person. What makes Antony useful is that Paris Orly is only 11 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 ORY tends to run under thirty hours. 18 minutes to Paris Orly, the sector itself, customs at the far end, and a signature. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of IST, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. 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 Antony
A courier in Antony is only as fast as the road in front of them. Antony to ORY is 11 km, 18 minutes, and the airports below are ordered by that drive rather than by size.
Under half an hour of road to ORY is unusual and useful. From Antony the limiting factor is the check in deadline, not the traffic. Two gates serve Antony in practice. CDG is 46 minutes away with 277 nonstop destinations, and the offer always names the airport before you accept it.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ORY | Paris Orly | 11 km | 18 minutes | 157 |
| CDG | Paris Charles de Gaulle | 48 km | 46 minutes | 277 |
Antony is a city of 60,000 people in Île-de-France, 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 ORY reaches without a change
ORY publishes 157 nonstop routes. For a courier in Antony 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LIS | Lisbon | Lisbon Portela | about 14 departures a day | 2 operators: Transavia France, TAP Air Portugal |
| NCE | Nice | Nice -Côte d'Azur | about 13 departures a day | 3 operators: Transavia France, easyJet |
| OPO | Porto | Porto Francisco de Sá Carneiro | about 12 departures a day | 3 operators: Transavia France, easyJet, TAP Air Portugal |
| CMN | Casablanca | Casablanca Mohammed V | about 11 departures a day | 3 operators: Transavia France, Royal Air Maroc |
| BCN | Barcelona | Barcelona | about 10 departures a day | 2 operators: Transavia France, Vueling |
| MAD | Madrid | Madrid Adolfo Suárez-Barajas | about 10 departures a day | 3 operators: Transavia France, Air Europa, Iberia |
| TLS | Toulouse-Blagnac | Toulouse-Blagnac | about 10 departures a day | 2 operators: Transavia France, easyJet |
| ALG | Algiers | Algiers Houari Boumediene | about 9 departures a day | 3 operators: Transavia France, Air Algerie |
| TUN | Tunis | Tunis Carthage | about 8 departures a day | 2 operators: Transavia France, Tunisair |
| DJE | Houmt El Souk | Houmt El Souk Djerba Zarzis | about 7 departures a day | 2 operators: Transavia France, Tunisair |
Counting every airport a courier in Antony can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 327 airports. Frequencies are average daily flights and change with the season, so the desk checks the live schedule before it offers you anything.
The industry inside this catchment
A page that claims customers it does not have is worthless. What follows is public industrial geography around ORY, shown because it explains why consignments leave Antony in a hurry.
- Safran, Villaroche and Corbeil. Engine assembly and test for the CFM programmes. The most produced engine family in the world generates the most spare movements. It sits on ORY, which is 18 minutes from Antony by road, and the sector is aerospace.
- Renault, Flins and Douai. Assembly and electric vehicle production. Paris is both the plant region and the intercontinental gate. It sits on CDG, which is 46 minutes from Antony by road, and the sector is automotive.
- Sanofi, Frankfurt Hoechst and Paris. Insulin production and research. One company, two countries, one supply chain. It sits on CDG, which is 46 minutes from Antony by road, and the sector is pharma.
Why a courier in Antony is useful to the desk
There is a second reason Antony matters, and it is the return leg. A courier who lives here can take a consignment inbound to Île-de-France and be home the same evening, which is cheaper and faster than flying somebody out from the Gulf and back.
A change of aircraft stands between Antony and the Gulf, which changes the timings rather than the work. From Antony the best single change is Istanbul (IST), and IST to DXB is flown by Emirates and flydubai, about 4 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 8h 39m gate to gate, so an assignment between Antony 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 ORY and the other airports listed above, between France 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 18 minutes drive to ORY. 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 ORY, 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.
