Corinth is on the list because ATH is reachable and busy. 172 scheduled nonstop destinations and 66 operating carriers mean the desk is rarely stuck for a routing, and 1 hour 21 minutes of road means you are rarely too far to take it. Those two facts together are the whole reason Corinth has a page of its own.

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 will usually know the day before, sometimes only in the morning. The desk sends the routing out of ATH, the sealed consignment reaches you or you collect it, and the drive of 1 hour 21 minutes is timed backwards from the check in deadline rather than the departure. The Gulf sector out of ATH is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss.
Getting to the aircraft from Corinth
Measured door to terminal, Corinth to ATH is 110 km and 1 hour 21 minutes. That is the number the desk uses when it decides whether to call Corinth for a departure this evening.
At 1 hour 21 minutes the drive from Corinth is the risky half of the trip, so it is planned rather than assumed: an earlier departure from home, and where the flight is early, a room near ATH paid by the desk. One gate, 1 hour 21 minutes away, and no second option. That is worth knowing before you join the Corinth list, and it is why the ATH board matters so much on this page.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATH | Athens Eleftherios Venizelos | 110 km | 1 hour 21 minutes | 172 |
Corinth is a city of 30,000 people in Peloponnese, and the clock there runs 1 hour behind the Emirates in summer and 2 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 Corinth may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What ATH reaches without a change
The relevant question about ATH is not how big it is but what it flies. 172 nonstop destinations across 53 countries, and the ones with real frequency are listed here.

What moves out of Corinth
This site publishes an industrial register for some airports and not for ATH. Rather than invent one, the honest statement is that Corinth produces the traffic every working city produces: signed originals, spare parts, samples and small valuables that missed a cut off.
Why a courier in Corinth is useful to the desk
Most of what the desk moves out of Peloponnese is small, sealed and late. The constraint is never the size, it is finding a person near enough to ATH. Corinth is near enough: 1 hour 21 minutes to ATH, on a board with 172 nonstop destinations.
A consignment moving between Corinth and the Gulf has a straightforward path. From Corinth the Gulf is a single sector: ATH and DXB are joined nonstop, about 2 departures a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 4h 19m in the air over 3,250 km, and it means a consignment can leave Corinth 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 ATH, between Greece 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 21 minutes drive to ATH. 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 ATH, 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.
Questions about the Corinth list
01How far is Corinth from ATH?
About 1 hour 21 minutes, 110 km by road. The desk has that number for every city on the list and uses it to decide who gets called for a departure out of ATH tonight.
02What can I reach from Corinth without a change of aircraft?
ATH serves 172 airports nonstop across 53 countries with 66 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Corinth can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 172 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Corinth to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Corinth the Gulf is a single sector: ATH and DXB are joined nonstop, about 2 departures a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 4h 19m in the air over 3,250 km, and it means a consignment can leave Corinth in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.
04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
No. The desk is in Dubai and the company is Emirati, but the courier list is worldwide and Corinth is on it. Where you live changes which assignments you are shown, not whether you qualify.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
No. The Corinth list is free to join and free to stay on. The only money that moves from you to us is the AED 199 Academy, paid once, and it comes back on top of the fee for your first completed assignment.
06How is my fee agreed?
One assignment out of ATH, one fee, agreed in advance. The 1 hour 21 minutes you spend driving there is part of what that figure is calculated on.
Apply to fly out of ATH
If you can be at ATH within 1 hour 21 minutes and you have a passport with room in it, the rest is a conversation.
