The work is one consignment, one cabin, one signature. You collect it in or near Landshut, you keep it with you, you present the prepared paperwork at customs and you hand it over in person. What makes Landshut useful is that Munich is only 40 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 MUC tends to run under thirty hours. 33 minutes to Munich, the sector itself, customs at the far end, and a signature. The Gulf sector out of MUC is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. 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 Landshut
A courier in Landshut is only as fast as the road in front of them. Landshut to MUC is 40 km, 33 minutes, and the airports below are ordered by that drive rather than by size.
33 minutes of road is the ordinary case on this list. It is short enough for a same day flight out of MUC and long enough that the desk builds slack into the timings. Two gates serve Landshut in practice. NUE is 1 hour 50 minutes away with 71 nonstop destinations, and the offer always names the airport before you accept it.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MUC | Munich | 40 km | 33 minutes | 221 |
| NUE | Nuremberg | 177 km | 1 hour 50 minutes | 71 |
| SZG | Salzburg | 128 km | 2 hours 2 minutes | 35 |
Landshut is a city of 72,000 people in Bavaria, 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 MUC reaches without a change
MUC publishes 221 nonstop routes. For a courier in Landshut 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRA | Frankfurt-am-Main | Frankfurt-am-Main | about 17 departures a day | 5 operators: Lufthansa, Air Dolomiti, Condor |
| HAM | Hamburg | Hamburg | about 17 departures a day | 3 operators: Lufthansa, Eurowings |
| LHR | London | London Heathrow | about 14 departures a day | 2 operators: Lufthansa, British Airways |
| DUS | Düsseldorf | Düsseldorf | about 14 departures a day | 4 operators: Lufthansa, Eurowings |
| AMS | Amsterdam | Amsterdam Schiphol | about 12 departures a day | 3 operators: Lufthansa, KLM |
| CDG | Paris | Paris Charles de Gaulle | about 11 departures a day | 4 operators: Lufthansa, Air France |

| FCO | Rome | Rome Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino | about 10 departures a day | 4 operators: Lufthansa, easyJet, ITA Airways |
| BER | Berlin | Berlin Brandenburg | about 9 departures a day | 2 operators: Lufthansa |
Counting every airport a courier in Landshut can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 233 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 MUC, shown because it explains why consignments leave Landshut in a hurry.
- Airbus Helicopters, Donauworth. Light helicopter assembly and dynamic components. Same urgency, different airport. It sits on MUC, which is 33 minutes from Landshut by road, and the sector is aerospace.
- BMW, Munich and Dingolfing. Assembly, engines and the electric drive train centre. The home plants and the airport are half an hour apart. It sits on MUC, which is 33 minutes from Landshut by road, and the sector is automotive.
- Audi, Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Assembly, aluminium body construction and engines. Two plants, two airports, one takt. It sits on MUC, which is 33 minutes from Landshut by road, and the sector is automotive.
- Zeiss SMT, Oberkochen. Optics for lithography systems. The optics that make lithography possible, made in one place. It sits on MUC, which is 33 minutes from Landshut by road, and the sector is semiconductor.
Why a courier in Landshut is useful to the desk
There is a second reason Landshut matters, and it is the return leg. A courier who lives here can take a consignment inbound to Bavaria and be home the same evening, which is cheaper and faster than flying somebody out from the Gulf and back.
The Emirates end of an assignment out of Landshut is straightforward. From Landshut the Gulf is a single sector: MUC and DXB are joined nonstop, about 2 departures a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 5h 52m in the air over 4,550 km, and it means a consignment can leave Landshut 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 MUC 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 33 minutes drive to MUC. 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 MUC, 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.
