A courier in Saltillo is called because of the road, not the postcode. Monterrey General Mariano Escobedo is 115 km away and reaches 64 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave Coahuila today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 1 hour 24 minutes.

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 Saltillo is short and defined. Collection, 1 hour 24 minutes on the road, check in at Monterrey General Mariano Escobedo, and a seat you did not pay for. 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. 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 Saltillo
1 hour 24 minutes is the drive from Saltillo to MTY, 115 km by road. It is the single most useful fact on this page, because it decides which departures from MTY you can realistically be offered.
At 115 km the drive is the part most likely to go wrong, so the desk over allows for it: an earlier start from Saltillo, or a hotel by MTY the night before, paid by us. Only MTY is within reach of Saltillo at 1 hour 24 minutes, so the 64 destinations it serves nonstop are what you can be offered. There is no second airport within reach of Saltillo to fall back on.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MTY | Monterrey General Mariano Escobedo | 115 km | 1 hour 24 minutes | 64 |
Saltillo is a city of 710,000 people in Coahuila, 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 moves out of Saltillo
This site keeps a public register of industrial sites for some airports, and MTY is not one of them. Rather than guess, the honest statement is that assignments from Saltillo are driven by deadlines rather than by any one factory: contracts, components, samples and valuables.
Why a courier in Saltillo is useful to the desk
The value of a Saltillo address is timing. When a consignment has to leave Coahuila today, the desk needs a name that is 1 hour 24 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
MTY does not fly to the Emirates directly. From Saltillo the 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 Saltillo 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 1 hour 24 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 Saltillo list
01How far is Saltillo from MTY?
It is 115 km of driving from Saltillo, roughly 1 hour 24 minutes. Parking or the transfer is paid by the desk, and if the timings are tight the desk pays for a room near MTY the night before instead of hoping.
02What can I reach from Saltillo without a change of aircraft?
MTY serves 64 airports nonstop across 11 countries with 15 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Saltillo 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 Saltillo to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Saltillo the 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 Saltillo 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 Saltillo list. What is asked for is a passport, the right to enter the country on the routing, and the ability to reach MTY.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
Applying costs nothing and always will. A courier on the Saltillo 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?
The desk sends the routing, the timing and the fee for that specific assignment in writing. You accept or decline it. Nothing is deducted or charged without your written agreement.
Apply to fly out of MTY
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 MTY.
