The desk does not ask you to be a logistics professional. It asks you to be reachable, presentable and 1 hour 12 minutes from KRK. Everything else, the booking out of KRK, the paperwork, the customs position and the consignee, is prepared in Dubai before you are called.

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.

The assignment
Some trips out of Bielsko-Biala are same day returns and some put you in a hotel while a return consignment is prepared. The offer says which before you accept it. The Gulf sector out of KRK is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. The drive to KRK is 1 hour 12 minutes in either case, and the desk pays for the parking or the transfer.
Getting to the aircraft from Bielsko-Biala

A drive of 1 hour 12 minutes is the ordinary case here: long enough to plan, short enough to accept a departure the same day. A courier in Bielsko-Biala has one airport and no fallback. That is worth knowing before you join the list, and it is why the KRK board is set out in full below.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KRK | Kraków John Paul II -Balice | 89 km | 1 hour 12 minutes | 135 |
Bielsko-Biala is a city of 177,000 people in Silesia, 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.

Why a courier in Bielsko-Biala is useful to the desk
Being close to KRK is worth more than being in a large city. The desk measures couriers in minutes to the check in desk, and Bielsko-Biala measures 1 hour 12 minutes, which puts it ahead of plenty of better known places with worse roads.

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 KRK, between Poland 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 12 minutes drive to KRK. 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 KRK, 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.
