Assignments are offered, never assigned. The desk sends the routing, the timings and the fee for one specific trip out of ORY, and you accept it or you do not. Living 1 hour 56 minutes from the terminal simply means you see more of them, because the offers go out in order of who can physically make the flight.

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.

2
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
3

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
You travel light and you travel as yourself. Passport, phone, the consignment and whatever you need for one or two nights away from Blois. 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. The drive from Blois to ORY is 1 hour 56 minutes, and the desk builds the timings around it rather than around the timetable alone.
Getting to the aircraft from Blois
The airports a courier in Blois can actually use are listed below, nearest first by driving time. ORY leads at 1 hour 56 minutes and 171 km.
A 1 hour 56 minutes drive changes how an assignment out of Blois is planned rather than whether it happens. The notice is longer, and the desk pays for a room by ORY when the departure is early. ORY is the whole of the Blois picture: 157 nonstop destinations, 1 hour 56 minutes of road, and no fallback gate within reach.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ORY | Paris Orly | 171 km | 1 hour 56 minutes | 157 |
Blois is a city of 54,000 people in Centre-Val de Loire, 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 Blois may exist and still not appear in the table above.

The industry inside this catchment
The plants and facilities below are public knowledge and sit within reach of ORY. They are named to explain the pattern of urgent work near Blois and for no other reason.
- 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 1 hour 56 minutes from Blois by road, and the sector is aerospace.
Why a courier in Blois is useful to the desk
The desk would rather use a courier who already lives in Blois than fly one in. It costs less, it is faster, and it removes an entire positioning flight into ORY from the timeline. That is the whole commercial case for keeping names in Blois, 1 hour 56 minutes from ORY.
The Gulf routing out of ORY is a connection, and the desk plans it as one. From Blois 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 Blois 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, 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 1 hour 56 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.
