Aeroinis OBC (on-board courier — someone who flies with the shipment) Network
You were flying anyway. Carry the thing that cannot wait.
An on-board courier hand-carries a small, urgent shipment as cabin baggage — a machine part that has stopped a production line, a clinical sample, a document that closes a deal. You check in, you fly, you hand it over against signature. We book the ticket, prepare the paperwork and stay on the phone the whole way.

How a mission runs
Four moves, and you are back home.
- The desk calls
A route, a date and a deadline. You say yes or no — nothing obliges you to take a mission.
- Collection
You take the shipment, photograph it and sign for it. We have already lodged the paperwork.
- The flight
Cabin baggage, priority connections where they exist, and a coordinator reachable at every leg.
- Handover
Signature on delivery closes the file. The desk confirms it to the client while you are still standing there.
On the day
Check in, fly, hand it over. The difference is what is in the bag.
Why couriers do this work
Why people fly these
What couriers say they get out of it.
Honestly, not everyone stays. The people who do tend to give the same four answers.
- Nobody owns your calendar
There is no roster and no shift. A mission is offered, you take it or you do not, and nothing follows from a no.
- The trip is arranged for you
The ticket, the routing and the paperwork are the desk's job. You get an itinerary and a name to call, not a booking problem.
- Cities you would not have chosen
Milan on Tuesday, Dubai on Friday. Short stays, usually, but they are somewhere rather than nowhere.
- The delivery actually matters
At the other end there is a plant that restarts, an aircraft that flies, or a laboratory that can begin. Few jobs let you see the result the same day.
And the part nobody advertises. It is real work at unsocial hours. Missions come at short notice, connections go wrong, and a border officer can hold you up for an hour with questions. If that sounds like a bad week rather than a good story, this is not the right work — and it is better for both of us that you know that now.
What is checked
A passport, a visa, a record — verified before a first mission, not after.
Before you apply
What the work actually requires.
We would rather you read this now than fill in a form and find out afterwards. All of it is checked before a first mission.
- 18 or over, with a passport valid for at least six more months.
- A clean criminal record. A certificate is requested before your first mission, not now.
- An active credit card. Occasionally a ticket or a hotel is booked on yours and reimbursed.
- Real flying experience. A frequent flyer number and a habit of airports, not a first trip.
- A smartphone with roaming. You have to be reachable in the transit hall, not after landing.
- Composure at a border. Customs will ask what you are carrying. You must be able to answer plainly.
- Workable English. Airline staff, customs officers and our desk will not all share your first language.
- Your own travel and health insurance. We do not provide it — you are a freelancer, and cover abroad is yours to hold.
- Tolerance for the hour. Lines stop at night. The call that matters most is the one at 02:00 asking if you can be at the airport by 05:00.
What a mission looks like. No two are the same. One is a morning departure to Frankfurt and you are home the same evening. The next is a country that wants a visa, at an hour nobody plans for — the part comes off a bench at 03:00 and the aircraft has to be in the air within a few hours. You are told the route, the date, the deadline and what you are carrying before you say yes, and turning one down changes nothing about the next call.
Please read before applying. One application per person. We answer applications we can use, and we cannot promise a reply to every one. Applying is not acceptance into the network, and acceptance is not a promise of missions — work depends on where you are based, what visas you hold and what our clients need that week. Couriers are engaged as independent freelancers, responsible for their own tax and insurance.
We are not asking for documents on this page. No passport scan, no criminal record, no card details. If your profile fits, the desk will contact you and send a private link for those — so we only hold documents for people we are actually working with.
The waiting
Some of it is airports at hours nobody else is awake for.
