Lynden Air Freight Named Baker Hughes’ Alaska Carrier


SEATTLE, June 2, 2000. Lynden Air Freight, Inc. was recently designated the primary Alaska transportation service provider for Baker Hughes, Inc., a Houston-based supplier of oilfield and related services. Under the terms of the agreement Lynden will handle all of Baker Hughes’ eight operating divisions’ domestic airfreight to, from, and within Alaska, which comprises over one-third of its total domestic shipping volume. The duration of the contract is three years.

Baker Hughes is a leading provider of technology designed to find, develop, produce, and manage petroleum reservoirs for its oil and gas industry customers. Its primary services are grouped into three categories: reservoir definition and characterization, well placement construction and completion, and production management.

Lynden Air Freight’s attainment of the Baker Hughes contract underscores the company’s strong presence in Alaska and long history serving offshore communities around the world. In addition to the Alaska offshore market, Lynden’s 55 worldwide operations include offshore facilities in Hawaii, San Juan, Guam, and Saipan.
