Every assignment starts with an airport, and yours is RIX. 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. Mazeikiai is 2 hours 20 minutes out, which puts you inside the window for most of 90 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 Mazeikiai list. An assignment is a single trip: accept the offer, collect, drive 147 km to RIX, board, land, clear, hand over. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of AMS, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. Then you go home or you wait for a return leg, and the desk books and pays for either.
Getting to the aircraft from Mazeikiai
The ground leg from Mazeikiai is 147 km to Riga, about 2 hours 20 minutes. Where a second airport is within reach of Mazeikiai it is listed too, because the desk will use whichever one has the flight.
147 km is a long ground leg by the standards of this list. At 2 hours 20 minutes the desk treats the drive as part of the assignment, plans it explicitly, and will book you into a hotel by RIX the night before rather than gamble on an early start. Everything out of Mazeikiai runs through RIX, because nothing else is within a sensible drive. Its 90 nonstop destinations are the honest limit of what you can be offered here.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIX | Riga | 147 km | 2 hours 20 minutes | 90 |
Mazeikiai is a city of 32,000 people in Telsiai, 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 Mazeikiai may exist and still not appear in the table above.

What moves out of Mazeikiai
The site holds no public industrial map for RIX, so this section says less rather than guessing. Consignments out of Mazeikiai are typically documents, spare parts, samples and small valuables that missed a cut off.
Why a courier in Mazeikiai is useful to the desk
Hand carry is a business of catchments, and Mazeikiai is inside one. Mazeikiai sits inside the catchment of Riga, 147 km out, which means a consignment collected in the city in the morning is airborne the same day rather than the next one.
The connection to Dubai from Mazeikiai involves a change of aircraft. From Mazeikiai the best single change is Amsterdam (AMS), and AMS to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 10h 08m gate to gate, so an assignment between Mazeikiai 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 RIX, 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 2 hours 20 minutes drive to RIX. 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 RIX, 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 Mazeikiai list
01How far is Mazeikiai from RIX?
2 hours 20 minutes and 147 km on a measured route. Whether that is a comfortable drive depends on the hour, so the offer names the time you should leave Mazeikiai rather than only the departure time.
02What can I reach from Mazeikiai without a change of aircraft?
RIX serves 90 airports nonstop across 39 countries with 15 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Mazeikiai can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 90 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Mazeikiai to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Mazeikiai the best single change is Amsterdam (AMS), and AMS to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 10h 08m gate to gate, so an assignment between Mazeikiai 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 company is Emirati and the coordination happens in Dubai, but couriers live in places like Mazeikiai. The Mazeikiai list exists because somebody has to be near RIX when a consignment appears in Telsiai.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
It is free to apply from Mazeikiai 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 offer, the routing out of RIX and the fee arrive together. You reply yes or no, and the yes is the agreement for that single trip out of RIX.
