TRADE AND TRANSPORTATION

Dream Client: Like most companies, Burlington Air Express is trying to become the Rolls-Royce of its industry. And in the meantime, it has won a contract to ship jet aircraft engine parts to Rolls-Royce in Derby, England.

Irvine-based Burlington will fly parts from American suppliers to Rolls-Royce, including entire aircraft engines. The deal is valued at $2 million a year. Burlington Chairman David L. Marshall called Rolls-Royce “a wonderful addition to our customer base.”
