A courier in Gasteiz / Vitoria is called because of the road, not the postcode. Bilbao is 70 km away and reaches 69 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave Basque Country today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 1 hour 1 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 Gasteiz / Vitoria is short and defined. Collection, 1 hour 1 minutes on the road, check in at Bilbao, and a seat you did not pay for. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of LGW, 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 Gasteiz / Vitoria
1 hour 1 minutes is the drive from Gasteiz / Vitoria to BIO, 70 km by road. It is the single most useful fact on this page, because it decides which departures from BIO you can realistically be offered.
A drive in this band, 1 hour 1 minutes from Gasteiz / Vitoria, is why the offer arrives with a departure time from your door and not only from the gate. Only BIO is within reach of Gasteiz / Vitoria at 1 hour 1 minutes, so the 69 destinations it serves nonstop are what you can be offered. There is no second airport within reach of Gasteiz / Vitoria to fall back on.

What moves out of Gasteiz / Vitoria
This site keeps a public register of industrial sites for some airports, and BIO is not one of them. Rather than guess, the honest statement is that assignments from Gasteiz / Vitoria are driven by deadlines rather than by any one factory: contracts, components, samples and valuables.
Why a courier in Gasteiz / Vitoria is useful to the desk
The value of a Gasteiz / Vitoria address is timing. When a consignment has to leave Basque Country today, the desk needs a name that is 1 hour 1 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
BIO does not fly to the Emirates directly. From Gasteiz / Vitorithe best single change is London (LGW), and LGW to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 4 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 9h 57m gate to gate, so an assignment between Gasteiz / Vitoria 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 BIO, between Spain 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 1 minutes drive to BIO. 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 BIO, 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.
