A Host is a registered local business that runs an AirJIT parcel facility near an airport or travel corridor. Hosts supply pickup, inspection, storage, traveler handoff, and optional last-mile. They do not fly the parcel. Travelers still carry unused luggage kg between airport cities.
Why Hosts exist
Not every shipper can stand at departures. Not every recipient can meet at arrivals. Multi-leg shipments need a trusted place to sit between flights. Hosts make those gaps operational without turning AirJIT into a traditional courier fleet.
What a Host actually does
- Collect parcels from shippers or inbound travelers
- Inspect against the listing — photos, weight, seal, and obvious mismatches
- Store securely until the next traveler or recipient is ready
- Hand off to the next traveler with in-app confirmation
- Optional doorstep pickup or drop-off in the city
Who should apply
Hosts are operators, not casual app users. Fit usually means a registered company, a reachable facility, staff who can inspect and keep records, and working knowledge of airline and restricted-item rules. Airport-adjacent shops, small warehouses, and existing last-mile networks are typical profiles.
How Hosts fit the protocol picture
In protocol language, a Host is a node class: localized pickup and last-mile density on the Global Logistics Graph. In the product, that means a city facility with portal access after onboarding. Settlement for Host work is in J1USD. Skin-in-the-game for opening a corridor is a JIT security deposit.
FAQ
- Do Hosts replace travelers?
- No. Hosts are the ground layer. Travelers still carry parcels between cities. Hosts collect, hold, inspect, and hand off when people cannot meet.
- Is there one Host per city?
- The Host program is designed as exclusive city coverage. Exact territory is defined in the Host agreement.
- How do Hosts earn?
- A commission on parcels handled on time, plus optional local services you offer. There is no published guaranteed income. Settlement is in J1USD.
