Assignments are offered, never assigned. The desk sends the routing, the timings and the fee for one specific trip out of BRE, and you accept it or you do not. Living 20 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.

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
You travel light and you travel as yourself. Passport, phone, the consignment and whatever you need for one or two nights away from Delmenhorst. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of AMS, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. The drive from Delmenhorst to BRE is 20 minutes, and the desk builds the timings around it rather than around the timetable alone.
Getting to the aircraft from Delmenhorst
The airports a courier in Delmenhorst can actually use are listed below, nearest first by driving time. BRE leads at 20 minutes and 13 km.
A drive of 20 minutes means Delmenhorst is one of the places the desk rings when a departure is already boarding in its head. The second option out of Delmenhorst is Hanover Hannover, 1 hour 22 minutes by road and 81 nonstop destinations. The desk picks whichever gate has the departure rather than whichever is nearer.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRE | Bremen | 13 km | 20 minutes | 31 |
| HAJ | Hanover Hannover | 128 km | 1 hour 22 minutes | 81 |
| FMO | Münster Osnabrück | 136 km | 1 hour 26 minutes | 17 |
| HAM | Hamburg | 138 km | 1 hour 40 minutes | 118 |
Delmenhorst is a city of 76,000 people in Lower Saxony, 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.

Why a courier in Delmenhorst is useful to the desk
The desk would rather use a courier who already lives in Delmenhorst than fly one in. It costs less, it is faster, and it removes an entire positioning flight into BRE from the timeline. That is the whole commercial case for keeping names in Delmenhorst, 20 minutes from BRE.
The Gulf routing out of BRE is a connection, and the desk plans it as one. From Delmenhorst the best single change is Amsterdam (AMS), and AMS to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 8h 53m gate to gate, so an assignment between Delmenhorst 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 BRE and the other airports listed above, between Germany 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 20 minutes drive to BRE. 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 BRE, 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.

03Getting from Delmenhorst to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Delmenhorst the best single change is Amsterdam (AMS), and AMS to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day.

04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
No. Living 20 minutes from BRE is the qualification. If the desk only wanted people in Dubai it would not keep a Delmenhorst list at all.
