A courier in Haugesund is called because of the road, not the postcode. Stavanger Sola is 92 km away and reaches 28 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave Rogaland today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 1 hour 57 minutes.

On Board Courier, Haugesund
A courier list for Haugesund and the Rogaland area. Your departure gate is SVG, 92 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 Haugesund is short and defined. Collection, 1 hour 57 minutes on the road, check in at Stavanger Sola, 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 Haugesund
1 hour 57 minutes is the drive from Haugesund to SVG, 92 km by road. It is the single most useful fact on this page, because it decides which departures from SVG you can realistically be offered.
At 92 km the drive is the part most likely to go wrong, so the desk over allows for it: an earlier start from Haugesund, or a hotel by SVG the night before, paid by us. Only SVG is within reach of Haugesund at 1 hour 57 minutes, so the 28 destinations it serves nonstop are what you can be offered. There is no second airport within reach of Haugesund to fall back on.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SVG | Stavanger Sola | 92 km | 1 hour 57 minutes | 28 |
Haugesund is a city of 40,000 people in Rogaland, and the clock there runs 2 hours behind the Emirates in summer and 3 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 Haugesund may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What SVG reaches without a change
From SVG a consignment can be in 28 other airports without touching a second aircraft. 15 countries are covered, and the heaviest routes are these.

The industry inside this catchment
What is made near SVG shapes what moves out of it in a hurry. The sites below are a matter of public record. Listing one is an explanation of why Haugesund generates urgent work, not a statement that the company works with us.
- SLB, Aberdeen and Stavanger. Oilfield services and downhole equipment. A rig that stops costs more per hour than most factories. It sits on SVG, which is 1 hour 57 minutes from Haugesund by road, and the sector is energy.
Why a courier in Haugesund is useful to the desk
The value of a Haugesund address is timing. When a consignment has to leave Rogaland today, the desk needs a name that is 1 hour 57 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
SVG does not fly to the Emirates directly. From Haugesund 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 9h 26m gate to gate, so an assignment between Haugesund 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 SVG, between Norway 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 57 minutes drive to SVG. 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 SVG, 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 Haugesund list
01How far is Haugesund from SVG?
It is 92 km of driving from Haugesund, roughly 1 hour 57 minutes. Parking or the transfer is paid by the desk, and if the timings are tight the desk pays for a room near SVG the night before instead of hoping.
02What can I reach from Haugesund without a change of aircraft?
SVG serves 28 airports nonstop across 15 countries with 11 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Haugesund can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 28 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Haugesund to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Haugesund 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 9h 26m gate to gate, so an assignment between Haugesund 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 Haugesund list. What is asked for is a passport, the right to enter the country on the routing, and the ability to reach SVG.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
Applying costs nothing and always will. A courier on the Haugesund 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 Haugesund and nothing is deducted. The fee agreed before you left Haugesund is the fee that reaches your account after the handover.
Apply to fly out of SVG
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 SVG.
