A courier in Haiphong is called because of the road, not the postcode. Hanoi Noi Bai is 122 km away and reaches 87 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave Hai Phong today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 1 hour 43 minutes.
On Board Courier, Haiphong
A courier list for Haiphong and the Hai Phong area. Your departure gate is HAN, 122 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.
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
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
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 Haiphong is short and defined. Collection, 1 hour 43 minutes on the road, check in at Hanoi Noi Bai, and a seat you did not pay for. The Gulf sector out of HAN is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. 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 Haiphong
1 hour 43 minutes is the drive from Haiphong to HAN, 122 km by road. It is the single most useful fact on this page, because it decides which departures from HAN you can realistically be offered.
At 122 km the drive is the part most likely to go wrong, so the desk over allows for it: an earlier start from Haiphong, or a hotel by HAN the night before, paid by us. Only HAN is within reach of Haiphong at 1 hour 43 minutes, so the 87 destinations it serves nonstop are what you can be offered. There is no second airport within reach of Haiphong to fall back on.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HAN | Hanoi Noi Bai | 122 km | 1 hour 43 minutes | 87 |
Haiphong is a city of 2.6 million people in Hai Phong, and the clock there runs 3 hours ahead of 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.
What HAN reaches without a change

What moves out of Haiphong
This site keeps a public register of industrial sites for some airports, and HAN is not one of them. Rather than guess, the honest statement is that assignments from Haiphong are driven by deadlines rather than by any one factory: contracts, components, samples and valuables.
Why a courier in Haiphong is useful to the desk
The value of a Haiphong address is timing. When a consignment has to leave Hai Phong today, the desk needs a name that is 1 hour 43 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
What ties Haiphong to a Dubai desk is the timetable. From Haiphong the Gulf is a single sector: HAN and AUH are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by Etihad Airways. That is roughly 6h 35m in the air over 5,150 km, and it means a consignment can leave Haiphong 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 HAN, between Vietnam 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 43 minutes drive to HAN. 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 HAN, 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 Haiphong list
01How far is Haiphong from HAN?
It is 122 km of driving from Haiphong, roughly 1 hour 43 minutes. Parking or the transfer is paid by the desk, and if the timings are tight the desk pays for a room near HAN the night before instead of hoping.
02What can I reach from Haiphong without a change of aircraft?
HAN serves 87 airports nonstop across 28 countries with 54 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Haiphong can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 87 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Haiphong to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Haiphong the Gulf is a single sector: HAN and AUH are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by Etihad Airways. That is roughly 6h 35m in the air over 5,150 km, and it means a consignment can leave Haiphong in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.
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 Haiphong list. What is asked for is a passport, the right to enter the country on the routing, and the ability to reach HAN.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
Applying costs nothing and always will. A courier on the Haiphong 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?
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 HAN
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 HAN.
