This is passenger travel with a job attached. You are booked on a scheduled service out of LJU, in the cabin, with a sealed consignment that never leaves you. The reason the desk keeps names in Koper is that 128 km of road is a short enough lead time to say yes to a departure the same day.

On Board Courier, Koper
The desk keeps a courier list for Koper because LJU is close enough to matter: 128 km of road and 44 nonstop destinations from the terminal you walk into.
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
An assignment is quoted as a whole: the routing from LJU, the waiting time, the return, and one fee for all of it. The Gulf sector out of LJU is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. Nothing is deducted afterwards, and the drive of 1 hour 26 minutes to the airport is part of what the fee is calculated on.
Getting to the aircraft from Koper
Reachability, not size, is why Koper has a page here. Koper qualifies because Ljubljana Jože Pučnik is 128 km away by road, 1 hour 26 minutes, and because that airport publishes a real scheduled nonstop board.
1 hour 26 minutes behind the wheel is a real commitment, and both the notice and the fee reflect it. Where the flight out of LJU leaves early, the desk books you in nearby the night before. Where LJU cannot help, VCE sometimes can. It is 2 hours 4 minutes from Koper and serves 114 airports without a change of aircraft.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LJU | Ljubljana Jože Pučnik | 128 km | 1 hour 26 minutes | 44 |
| VCE | Venice Marco Polo | 176 km | 2 hours 4 minutes | 114 |
| TSF | Treviso -Sant'Angelo | 179 km | 2 hours 12 minutes | 47 |
Koper is a city of 26,000 people in Urban Municipality of Koper, 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 Koper may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What LJU reaches without a change
A gate 1 hour 26 minutes from Koper is only useful if it goes somewhere. LJU goes to 44 airports nonstop in 23 countries, and the heaviest routes on that board are shown here with the airlines that fly them.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRA | Frankfurt-am-Main | Frankfurt-am-Main | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: Lufthansa |
| BEG | Belgrade | Belgrade Nikola Tesla | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: Air Serbia |
| IST | Istanbul | Istanbul | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: Turkish Airlines |
| ZRH | Zurich | Zurich Kloten | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: SWISS |
| AMS | Amsterdam | Amsterdam Schiphol | about 2 departures a day | 1 operator: KLM |
| MUC | Munich | Munich | about 2 departures a day | 2 operators: Lufthansa |
| WAW | Warsaw | Warsaw Chopin | about 2 departures a day | 1 operator: LOT Polish Airlines |
| LHR | London | London Heathrow | about one departure a day | 1 operator: British Airways |
| TGD | Podgorica | Podgorica | about one departure a day | 2 operators: Wizz Air |
| CDG | Paris | Paris Charles de Gaulle | about one departure a day | 1 operator: Air France |
Counting every airport a courier in Koper can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 158 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 Koper
Nothing is claimed here about what is made near Koper, because this site holds no public industrial file for LJU. The demand around Koper is the ordinary kind: a contract, a part, a batch that has to be somewhere else by morning.
Why a courier in Koper is useful to the desk
What the desk buys when it books a courier in Koper is the ground half of a delivery. The flying out of LJU is easy to arrange. Getting a trustworthy person and a sealed consignment to LJU inside a few hours is the part that fails, and 1 hour 26 minutes is why it does not fail here.
How a consignment gets between LJU and the Emirates. From Koper the Gulf is a single sector: LJU and DXB are joined nonstop, about 3 departures a week, flown by flydubai. That is roughly 5h 34m in the air over 4,300 km, and it means a consignment can leave Koper in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.

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 LJU and the other airports listed above, between Slovenia 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 26 minutes drive to LJU. 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 LJU, 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 Koper list
01How far is Koper from LJU?
