Grevenbroich qualifies on a measured drive, not on a reputation. Düsseldorf is 36 km from the centre, 37 minutes by road, and it reaches 176 airports nonstop. Those are the two numbers that put the city on the list, and they are the numbers an offer is decided on.

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
Nothing about a trip out of DUS is improvised. The routing, the consignee, the customs position and the return are settled before the desk calls Grevenbroich. The Gulf sector out of DUS is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. What is left to you is the drive, the flight and the handover.
Getting to the aircraft from Grevenbroich
One measurement decides what Grevenbroich can be offered: 36 km of road to DUS, 37 minutes at an ordinary speed. Every airport within reach of Grevenbroich was measured the same way, so the lines below can be read against each other.
This is the standard shape of a Grevenbroich assignment: 37 minutes of road, then the sector. The timings are built backwards from the counter at DUS rather than from the gate. Redundancy is part of why Grevenbroich is listed. CGN is 55 minutes away and flies to 154 airports directly, so a lost departure at DUS moves rather than dies.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DUS | Düsseldorf | 36 km | 37 minutes | 176 |
| CGN | Cologne Bonn | 57 km | 55 minutes | 154 |
| EIN | Eindhoven | 116 km | 1 hour 28 minutes | 74 |
| FMO | Münster Osnabrück | 180 km | 1 hour 56 minutes | 17 |
Grevenbroich is a city of 65,000 people in North Rhine-Westphalia, 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 Grevenbroich is useful to the desk
The commercial case for a name in Grevenbroich is subtraction. Without one, an urgent consignment out of North Rhine-Westphalia needs a positioning flight or a truck to a hub. With one it needs 37 minutes of driving to DUS and a boarding pass.
The link that makes Grevenbroich useful to a Dubai desk is a scheduled one. From Grevenbroich the Gulf is a single sector: DUS and DXB are joined nonstop, about 2 departures a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 6h 24m in the air over 5,000 km, and it means a consignment can leave Grevenbroich in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.

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 DUS 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 37 minutes drive to DUS. 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 DUS, 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.
