Andria is on the list because BRI is reachable and busy. 105 scheduled nonstop destinations and 28 operating carriers mean the desk is rarely stuck for a routing, and 41 minutes of road means you are rarely too far to take it. Those two facts together are the whole reason Andria 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 BRI, the sealed consignment reaches you or you collect it, and the drive of 41 minutes is timed backwards from the check in deadline rather than the departure. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of MXP, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real.
Getting to the aircraft from Andria
Measured door to terminal, Andria to BRI is 48 km and 41 minutes. That is the number the desk uses when it decides whether to call Andria for a departure this evening.
At 41 minutes the desk will normally ask you to leave Andria about three hours before departure, more if the routing needs a bag drop cut off. One gate, 41 minutes away, and no second option. That is worth knowing before you join the Andria list, and it is why the BRI board matters so much on this page.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRI | Bari Karol Wojtyła | 48 km | 41 minutes | 105 |
Andria is a city of 100,000 people in Apulia, 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 BRI reaches without a change
The relevant question about BRI is not how big it is but what it flies. 105 nonstop destinations across 33 countries, and the ones with real frequency are listed here.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |

| FCO | Rome | Rome Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino | about 8 departures a day | 3 operators: Ryanair, ITA Airways |
| MXP | Milan | Milan Malpensa | about 4 departures a day | 3 operators: Ryanair, easyJet |

Counting every airport a courier in Andria can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 105 airports. Frequencies are average daily flights and change with the season, so the desk checks the live schedule before it offers you anything.
What moves out of Andria
This site publishes an industrial register for some airports and not for BRI. Rather than invent one, the honest statement is that Andria produces the traffic every working city produces: signed originals, spare parts, samples and small valuables that missed a cut off.
Why a courier in Andria is useful to the desk
Most of what the desk moves out of Apulia is small, sealed and late. The constraint is never the size, it is finding a person near enough to BRI. Andria is near enough: 41 minutes to BRI, on a board with 105 nonstop destinations.
There is no nonstop between BRI and the Emirates, and this page says so rather than implying otherwise. From Andrithe best single change is Milan (MXP), and MXP to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 8h 57m gate to gate, so an assignment between Andria 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 BRI, between Italy 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 41 minutes drive to BRI. 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 BRI, 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 Andria list
01How far is Andria from BRI?
About 41 minutes, 48 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 BRI tonight.
02What can I reach from Andria without a change of aircraft?
BRI serves 105 airports nonstop across 33 countries with 28 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Andria can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 105 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Andria to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Andrithe best single change is Milan (MXP), and MXP to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 8h 57m gate to gate, so an assignment between Andria and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.
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 Andria is on it. Where you live changes which assignments you are shown, not whether you qualify.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
No. The Andria 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 BRI, one fee, agreed in advance. The 41 minutes you spend driving there is part of what that figure is calculated on.
Apply to fly out of BRI
If you can be at BRI within 41 minutes and you have a passport with room in it, the rest is a conversation.
