Every assignment starts with an airport, and yours is MTY. 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. Reynosa is 2 hours 41 minutes out, which puts you inside the window for most of 64 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 Reynosa list. An assignment is a single trip: accept the offer, collect, drive 211 km to MTY, board, land, clear, hand over. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of ATL, 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 Reynosa
The ground leg from Reynosa is 211 km to Monterrey General Mariano Escobedo, about 2 hours 41 minutes. Where a second airport is within reach of Reynosa it is listed too, because the desk will use whichever one has the flight.
211 km is a long ground leg by the standards of this list. At 2 hours 41 minutes the desk treats the drive as part of the assignment, plans it explicitly, and will book you into a hotel by MTY the night before rather than gamble on an early start. Everything out of Reynosa runs through MTY, because nothing else is within a sensible drive. Its 64 nonstop destinations are the honest limit of what you can be offered here.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MTY | Monterrey General Mariano Escobedo | 211 km | 2 hours 41 minutes | 64 |
Reynosa is a city of 589,000 people in Tamaulipas, and the clock there runs 9 hours behind the Emirates in summer and 10 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 Reynosa may exist and still not appear in the table above.

What moves out of Reynosa
The site holds no public industrial map for MTY, so this section says less rather than guessing. Consignments out of Reynosa are typically documents, spare parts, samples and small valuables that missed a cut off.
Why a courier in Reynosa is useful to the desk
Hand carry is a business of catchments, and Reynosa is inside one. Reynosa sits inside the catchment of Monterrey General Mariano Escobedo, 211 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 Reynosa involves a change of aircraft. From Reynosthe best single change is Atlanta (ATL), and ATL to AUH is flown by Etihad Airways, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 19h 04m gate to gate, so an assignment between Reynosa 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 MTY, between Mexico 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 41 minutes drive to MTY. 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 MTY, 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 Reynosa list
01How far is Reynosa from MTY?
2 hours 41 minutes and 211 km on a measured route. Whether that is a comfortable drive depends on the hour, so the offer names the time you should leave Reynosa rather than only the departure time.
02What can I reach from Reynosa without a change of aircraft?
MTY serves 64 airports nonstop across 11 countries with 15 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Reynosa can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 64 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Reynosa to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Reynosthe best single change is Atlanta (ATL), and ATL to AUH is flown by Etihad Airways, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 19h 04m gate to gate, so an assignment between Reynosa 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 Reynosa. The Reynosa list exists because somebody has to be near MTY when a consignment appears in Tamaulipas.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
