The work is one consignment, one cabin, one signature. You collect it in or near Salamanca, you keep it with you, you present the prepared paperwork at customs and you hand it over in person. What makes Salamanca useful is that Silao Del Bajío is only 66 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 BJX tends to run under thirty hours. 57 minutes to Silao Del Bajío, the sector itself, customs at the far end, and a signature. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of IAH, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. 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 Salamanca
A courier in Salamanca is only as fast as the road in front of them. Salamanca to BJX is 66 km, 57 minutes, and the airports below are ordered by that drive rather than by size.
57 minutes of road is the ordinary case on this list. It is short enough for a same day flight out of BJX and long enough that the desk builds slack into the timings. Two gates serve Salamanca in practice. QRO is 1 hour 35 minutes away with 28 nonstop destinations, and the offer always names the airport before you accept it.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BJX | Silao Del Bajío | 66 km | 57 minutes | 21 |
| QRO | Querétaro Intercontinental | 121 km | 1 hour 35 minutes | 28 |
| AGU | Aguascalientes International | 198 km | 2 hours 30 minutes | 11 |
| SLP | San Luis Potosí Ponciano Arriaga | 234 km | 3 hours 22 minutes | 11 |
| GDL | Guadalajara Don Miguel Hidalgo Y Costilla | 277 km | 3 hours 36 minutes | 67 |
Salamanca is a city of 161,000 people in Guanajuato, and the clock there runs 10 hours behind the Emirates all year. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes.
What BJX reaches without a change
BJX publishes 21 nonstop routes. For a courier in Salamanca 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEX | Mexico City | Mexico City Licenciado Benito Juarez | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: Aeromexico |
| MTY | Monterrey | Monterrey General Mariano Escobedo | about 5 departures a day | 2 operators: Viva, Volaris |
| TIJ | Tijuana | Tijuana General Abelardo L. Rodríguez | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: Viva, Volaris |
| IAH | Houston | Houston George Bush | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: Viva, United Airlines |
| DFW | Dallas-Fort Worth | Dallas-Fort Worth | about 3 departures a day | 2 operators: Viva, American Airlines |
| CUN | Cancún | Cancún | about 3 departures a day | 2 operators: Viva, Volaris |
| NLU | Mexico City | Mexico City Felipe Ángeles | about 2 departures a day | 2 operators: Viva |
| PVR | Puerto Vallarta | Puerto Vallarta Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz | about 2 departures a day | 1 operator: Volaris |
| CJS | Ciudad Juárez | Ciudad Juárez Abraham González | about one departure a day | 1 operator: Viva |
| ATL | Atlanta | Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson | about one departure a day | 1 operator: Aeromexico |
Counting every airport a courier in Salamanca can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 72 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 Salamanca
There is no published industrial map for the BJX area on this site, and a page that made one up would be worthless. The traffic out of Salamanca 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 Salamanca is useful to the desk
There is a second reason Salamanca matters, and it is the return leg. A courier who lives here can take a consignment inbound to Guanajuato and be home the same evening, which is cheaper and faster than flying somebody out from the Gulf and back.
A change of aircraft stands between Salamanca and the Gulf, which changes the timings rather than the work. From Salamancthe best single change is Houston (IAH), and IAH to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 19h 22m gate to gate, so an assignment between Salamanca 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 BJX and the other airports listed above, 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 57 minutes drive to BJX. 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 BJX, 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.
