Every assignment starts with an airport, and yours is TLV. The desk holds a consignment that is late, valuable or perishable, finds the first departure that fits, and then looks for a courier who can be at the counter in time. Haifa is 1 hour 22 minutes out, which puts you inside the window for most of 110 nonstop destinations.

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
There is no roster and no shift on the Haifa list. An assignment is a single trip: accept the offer, collect, drive 109 km to TLV, board, land, clear, hand over. The Gulf sector out of TLV is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. Then you go home or you wait for a return leg, and the desk books and pays for either.
Getting to the aircraft from Haifa
The ground leg from Haifa is 109 km to Tel Aviv Yafo Ben Gurion, about 1 hour 22 minutes. Where a second airport is within reach of Haifa it is listed too, because the desk will use whichever one has the flight.
109 km is a long ground leg by the standards of this list. At 1 hour 22 minutes the desk treats the drive as part of the assignment, plans it explicitly, and will book you into a hotel by TLV the night before rather than gamble on an early start. TLV is the only airport within a sensible drive of Haifa, so every assignment from here runs through it. That makes its 110 nonstop destinations the practical limit of what you can be offered.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TLV | Tel Aviv Yafo Ben Gurion | 109 km | 1 hour 22 minutes | 110 |
Haifa is a city of 285,000 people in Haifa, 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.

What moves out of Haifa
No public industrial file exists here for Haifa, so none is claimed. Urgent hand carry demand in a city this size comes from deadlines, not from a single plant: a court filing, a machine that stopped, a batch that has to be tested.
Why a courier in Haifa is useful to the desk
Hand carry is a business of catchments, and Haifa is inside one. Haifa sits inside the catchment of Tel Aviv Yafo Ben Gurion, 109 km out, which means a consignment collected in the city in the morning is airborne the same day rather than the next one.
The Emirates end of the lane looks like this from TLV. From Haifthe Gulf is a single sector: TLV and DXB are joined nonstop, about 11 departures a day, flown by flydubai and Emirates. That is roughly 3h 01m in the air over 2,150 km, and it means a consignment can leave Haifa 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 TLV, between Israel 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 22 minutes drive to TLV. 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 TLV, 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 Haifa list
01How far is Haifa from TLV?
1 hour 22 minutes and 109 km on a measured route. Whether that is a comfortable drive depends on the hour, so the offer names the time you should leave Haifa rather than only the departure time.
02What can I reach from Haifa without a change of aircraft?
TLV serves 110 airports nonstop across 47 countries with 54 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Haifa can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 110 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Haifa to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Haifthe Gulf is a single sector: TLV and DXB are joined nonstop, about 11 departures a day, flown by flydubai and Emirates. That is roughly 3h 01m in the air over 2,150 km, and it means a consignment can leave Haifa 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 company is Emirati and the coordination happens in Dubai, but couriers live in places like Haifa. The Haifa list exists because somebody has to be near TLV when a consignment appears in Haifa.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
It is free to apply from Haifa and free to be screened. The one charge anywhere in the process is the AED 199 Academy, paid once and refunded on top of your first assignment fee.
06How is my fee agreed?
The desk sends the routing, the timing and the fee for that specific assignment in writing. You accept or decline it. Nothing is deducted or charged without your written agreement.
