A courier in Šiauliai is called because of the road, not the postcode. Riga is 131 km away and reaches 90 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave Siauliai today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 2 hours 3 minutes.

On Board Courier, Šiauliai
A courier list for Šiauliai and the Siauliai area. Your departure gate is RIX, 131 km by road, and every ticket on it is bought by the desk rather than by you.
OnBoard Courier is a United Arab Emirates company, contracted by ICSL FZE and run from Dubai. A city named on this site is a place we cover and route through, not a separate company in that city. Assignments are contracted under UAE law, and the terms are published in full under legal and policies.

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
The shape of a trip out of Šiauliai is short and defined. Collection, 2 hours 3 minutes on the road, check in at Riga, and a seat you did not pay for. 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. You do not open the consignment, you do not check it into the hold, and you do not leave it anywhere.
Getting to the aircraft from Šiauliai
2 hours 3 minutes is the drive from Šiauliai to RIX, 131 km by road. It is the single most useful fact on this page, because it decides which departures from RIX you can realistically be offered.
At 131 km the drive is the part most likely to go wrong, so the desk over allows for it: an earlier start from Šiauliai, or a hotel by RIX the night before, paid by us. Only RIX is within reach of Šiauliai at 2 hours 3 minutes, so the 90 destinations it serves nonstop are what you can be offered. There is no second airport within reach of Šiauliai to fall back on.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIX | Riga | 131 km | 2 hours 3 minutes | 90 |
Šiauliai is a city of 99,000 people in Siauliai, 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 Šiauliai may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What RIX reaches without a change
From RIX a consignment can be in 90 other airports without touching a second aircraft. 39 countries are covered, and the heaviest routes are these.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HEL | Helsinki | Helsinki Vantaa | about 10 departures a day | 2 operators: airBaltic, Finnair |
| CPH | Copenhagen | Copenhagen Kastrup | about 6 departures a day | 3 operators: airBaltic, Norwegian, SAS |
| TLL | Tallinn | Tallinn Lennart Meri | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: airBaltic |
| ARN | Stockholm | Stockholm -Arlanda | about 5 departures a day | 3 operators: airBaltic, Ryanair, Norwegian |
| VNO | Vilnius | Vilnius | about 4 departures a day | 1 operator: airBaltic |

Counting every airport a courier in Šiauliai can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 90 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 Šiauliai
No industrial register exists here for Šiauliai and none is going to be improvised. Hand carry demand in a city of 99,000 people is the ordinary kind, driven by a clock rather than by any single factory.
Why a courier in Šiauliai is useful to the desk
The value of a Šiauliai address is timing. When a consignment has to leave Siauliai today, the desk needs a name that is 2 hours 3 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
RIX does not fly to the Emirates directly. From Šiauliai 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 Šiauliai 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 3 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 Šiauliai list
01How far is Šiauliai from RIX?
It is 131 km of driving from Šiauliai, roughly 2 hours 3 minutes. Parking or the transfer is paid by the desk, and if the timings are tight the desk pays for a room near RIX the night before instead of hoping.
02What can I reach from Šiauliai without a change of aircraft?
RIX serves 90 airports nonstop across 39 countries with 15 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Šiauliai 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 Šiauliai to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Šiauliai 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 Šiauliai 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?
You do not. A residence visa is not asked for and not needed to be on the Šiauliai list. What is asked for is a passport, the right to enter the country on the routing, and the ability to reach RIX.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
Applying costs nothing and always will. A courier on the Šiauliai list makes exactly one payment to us, the AED 199 Academy, and gets it back in full with the fee for the first assignment they complete.
06How is my fee agreed?
Nothing is charged back to a courier in Šiauliai and nothing is deducted. The fee agreed before you left Šiauliai is the fee that reaches your account after the handover.
Apply to fly out of RIX
The application takes about five minutes and asks what the desk actually needs to know: your passports, your visas, and how quickly you can be at RIX.
