Évry sits inside the catchment of a working airport. Paris Orly handles 157 nonstop destinations and 47 countries, and the drive from the centre is 23 minutes. A courier who can be airside at ORY inside that window is worth more to the desk than a courier in a bigger city who is stuck in traffic.

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 paperwork exists before you leave Évry. Invoice, declaration, consignee details and, where the goods need it, the permit, all prepared in Dubai and sent to you before you leave Évry. 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. Your job at the counter is to be calm, to answer plainly and to keep the consignment in sight.
Getting to the aircraft from Évry
These are the gates within reach of Évry by car. The nearest, ORY, is 21 km away, about 23 minutes, and each one is shown with what it reaches without a change of aircraft.
Short ground legs like the 23 minutes out of Évry are what let the desk promise a same day departure without crossing its fingers. A courier in Évry is not stuck with one board. CDG at 56 minutes carries 277 nonstop destinations of its own, which is what stops a cancellation ending an assignment.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ORY | Paris Orly | 21 km | 23 minutes | 157 |
| CDG | Paris Charles de Gaulle | 58 km | 56 minutes | 277 |
Évry is a city of 52,000 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.

The industry inside this catchment
The facilities below sit inside the ORY catchment and are a matter of public record. They are named to explain why consignments leave Évry in a hurry, 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 23 minutes from Évry 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 56 minutes from Évry 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 56 minutes from Évry by road, and the sector is pharma.
Why a courier in Évry is useful to the desk
A city qualifies for this list when three things are true at once: a real airport within a sensible drive, a real nonstop board on it, and something in the area worth moving. Évry clears all three, at 23 minutes from ORY and 157 destinations.
Nothing flies ORY to the Emirates without a stop, so here is the honest version. From Évry 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 Évry 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 23 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.
