Assignments are offered, never assigned. The desk sends the routing, the timings and the fee for one specific trip out of VNO, and you accept it or you do not. Living 1 hour 32 minutes from the terminal simply means you see more of them, because the offers go out in order of who can physically make the flight.

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 travel light and you travel as yourself. Passport, phone, the consignment and whatever you need for one or two nights away from Jonava. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of FRA, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. The drive from Jonava to VNO is 1 hour 32 minutes, and the desk builds the timings around it rather than around the timetable alone.
Getting to the aircraft from Jonava
The airports a courier in Jonava can actually use are listed below, nearest first by driving time. VNO leads at 1 hour 32 minutes and 103 km.
A 1 hour 32 minutes drive changes how an assignment out of Jonava is planned rather than whether it happens. The notice is longer, and the desk pays for a room by VNO when the departure is early. VNO is the whole of the Jonava picture: 57 nonstop destinations, 1 hour 32 minutes of road, and no fallback gate within reach.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VNO | Vilnius | 103 km | 1 hour 32 minutes | 57 |
Jonava is a city of 26,000 people in Kaunas, 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 Jonava may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What VNO reaches without a change

| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |

| HEL | Helsinki | Helsinki Vantaa | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: Finnair |

Counting every airport a courier in Jonava can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 57 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 Jonava
There is no industrial map for VNO on this site, and a page that guessed at one would be worth nothing. What is true is that a city of 26,000 people generates deadline traffic in every week of the year.
Why a courier in Jonava is useful to the desk
The desk would rather use a courier who already lives in Jonava than fly one in. It costs less, it is faster, and it removes an entire positioning flight into VNO from the timeline. That is the whole commercial case for keeping names in Jonava, 1 hour 32 minutes from VNO.
The Gulf routing out of VNO is a connection, and the desk plans it as one. From Jonavthe best single change is Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA), and FRA to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 9h 39m gate to gate, so an assignment between Jonava 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 VNO, between Lithuania 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 32 minutes drive to VNO. 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 VNO, 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.

A measured 103 km and about 1 hour 32 minutes from Jonava to VNO. The desk works back from the check in deadline, so the leaving time it gives you will look early and is meant to.
02What can I reach from Jonava without a change of aircraft?
VNO serves 57 airports nonstop across 30 countries with 18 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Jonava can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 57 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Jonava to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Jonavthe best single change is Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA), and FRA to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day.

04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
No. Living 1 hour 32 minutes from VNO is the qualification. If the desk only wanted people in Dubai it would not keep a Jonava list at all.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
