The work is one consignment, one cabin, one signature. You collect it in or near Rimini, you keep it with you, you present the prepared paperwork at customs and you hand it over in person. What makes Rimini useful is that Bologna Guglielmo Marconi is only 124 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 BLQ tends to run under thirty hours. 1 hour 24 minutes to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi, the sector itself, customs at the far end, and a signature. The Gulf sector out of BLQ 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 Rimini
A courier in Rimini is only as fast as the road in front of them. Rimini to BLQ is 124 km, 1 hour 24 minutes, and the airports below are ordered by that drive rather than by size.
1 hour 24 minutes on the road is a real commitment and the desk treats it as one. The offer will say when you need to leave Rimini, and an overnight near BLQ is booked and paid for when the timings do not work otherwise. One airport, BLQ, 1 hour 24 minutes away. That is the whole picture from Rimini, and it is why the nonstop board matters more here than in a city with a choice.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BLQ | Bologna Guglielmo Marconi | 124 km | 1 hour 24 minutes | 114 |
Rimini is a city of 149,000 people in Emilia-Romagna, 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 BLQ reaches without a change
BLQ publishes 114 nonstop routes. For a courier in Rimini 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CDG | Paris | Paris Charles de Gaulle | about 6 departures a day | 2 operators: Air France |
| PMO | Palermo | Palermo Falcone-Borsellino | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: Ryanair, Wizz Air |
| CTA | Catania | Catania -Fontanarossa | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: Ryanair, Wizz Air |
| FRA | Frankfurt-am-Main | Frankfurt-am-Main | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: Air Dolomiti, Lufthansa |
| MUC | Munich | Munich | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: Air Dolomiti |
| TIA | Tirana | Tirana Mother Teresa | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: Ryanair, Wizz Air |
| AMS | Amsterdam | Amsterdam Schiphol | about 4 departures a day | 1 operator: KLM |
| CAG | Cagliari | Cagliari Elmas | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: Ryanair |
| MAD | Madrid | Madrid Adolfo Suárez-Barajas | about 4 departures a day | 3 operators: Ryanair, Iberia, Air Europa |
| BCN | Barcelona | Barcelona | about 3 departures a day | 2 operators: Ryanair, Vueling |
Counting every airport a courier in Rimini can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 114 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 Rimini
There is no published industrial map for the BLQ area on this site, and a page that made one up would be worthless. The traffic out of Rimini is the normal kind: documents that have to be witnessed, parts that stopped something, and samples with a clock on them.
Why a courier in Rimini is useful to the desk
There is a second reason Rimini matters, and it is the return leg. A courier who lives here can take a consignment inbound to Emilia-Romagna and be home the same evening, which is cheaper and faster than flying somebody out from the Gulf and back.
The Gulf link is what makes Rimini a courier city rather than a place with an airport. From Rimini the Gulf is a single sector: BLQ and DXB are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 5h 48m in the air over 4,500 km, and it means a consignment can leave Rimini 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 BLQ, 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 1 hour 24 minutes drive to BLQ. 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 BLQ, 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 Rimini list
01How far is Rimini from BLQ?
The route from Rimini to BLQ runs 124 km and takes about 1 hour 24 minutes with clear roads. Traffic between Rimini and BLQ is allowed for on top, and the desk pays for the parking or the transfer either way.
02What can I reach from Rimini without a change of aircraft?
BLQ serves 114 airports nonstop across 36 countries with 47 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Rimini can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 114 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Rimini to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Rimini the Gulf is a single sector: BLQ and DXB are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 5h 48m in the air over 4,500 km, and it means a consignment can leave Rimini 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 many lanes start there, but a courier in Rimini is called precisely because they are not in Dubai. Your distance from BLQ is recorded when you apply so the offers you see are ones you can actually reach.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
Nothing to apply and nothing to be screened, in Rimini or anywhere else. The single payment that exists is the AED 199 Academy, paid once and returned in full on top of your first completed 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.
