What is being moved is small and the deadline is not. A sealed pouch, a boxed part, a cooled sample. The volume never justifies a charter and the clock never allows a network, so a person flies with it out of CCS. From Puerto Cabello that person drives 236 km to CCS and boards.

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
You will spend more of the assignment on the ground than in the air: 236 km from Puerto Cabello to CCS, the check in, the wait, the clearance at the other end. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of MAD, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. The fee is calculated on all of that rather than on the flying hours.
Getting to the aircraft from Puerto Cabello
A measured route rather than a guess. Puerto Cabello to CCS is 236 km and 3 hours 23 minutes, and every airport in the table below was measured the same way so the lines can be compared.
At 3 hours 23 minutes the drive from Puerto Cabello is the risky half of the trip, so it is planned rather than assumed: an earlier departure from home, and where the flight is early, a room near CCS paid by the desk. One gate, 3 hours 23 minutes away, and no second option. That is worth knowing before you join the Puerto Cabello list, and it is why the CCS board matters so much on this page.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCS | Caracas Simón Bolívar | 236 km | 3 hours 23 minutes | 14 |
Puerto Cabello is a city of 174,000 people in Carabobo, and the clock there runs 8 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. Only airports this site publishes a scheduled nonstop board for are listed, so a smaller field nearer Puerto Cabello may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What CCS reaches without a change
CCS is not a name on a map to this desk, it is a departure board. The network file the site publishes shows 14 airports served nonstop from CCS, across 6 countries, by 10 operating carriers.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PMV | Isla Margarita | Isla Margarita Del Caribe Santiago Mariño | about 4 departures a day | 3 operators |
| BOG | Bogotá | Bogotá El Dorado | about 3 departures a day | 5 operators: Avianca, LATAM |

Counting every airport a courier in Puerto Cabello can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 14 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 Puerto Cabello
This site keeps a public register of industrial sites for some airports, and CCS is not one of them. Rather than guess, the honest statement is that assignments from Puerto Cabello are driven by deadlines rather than by any one factory: contracts, components, samples and valuables.
Why a courier in Puerto Cabello is useful to the desk
The honest version is that some months Puerto Cabello produces nothing and some weeks it produces three assignments. What makes a Puerto Cabello courier worth keeping on the list is that when the call comes, 236 km is a distance that can be covered before check in closes.
CCS does not fly to the Emirates directly. From Puerto Cabello the best single change is Madrid (MAD), and MAD to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 2 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 17h 28m gate to gate, so an assignment between Puerto Cabello 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 CCS, between Venezuela 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 3 hours 23 minutes drive to CCS. 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 CCS, 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 Puerto Cabello list

CCS serves 14 airports nonstop across 6 countries with 10 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Puerto Cabello can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 14 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Puerto Cabello to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Puerto Cabello the best single change is Madrid (MAD), and MAD to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 2 departures a day.

04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
No. The desk is in Dubai and the company is Emirati, but the courier list is worldwide and Puerto Cabello is on it. Where you live changes which assignments you are shown, not whether you qualify.

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 CCS
The form asks where you live in Puerto Cabello, which passports you hold and how fast you can reach CCS. That is most of the qualification.
