Carry a piece of freight history with this BAX Global Backpack. The company began in 1972 as Burlington Northern Airfreight, grew into Burlington Air Express, and adopted the BAX Global name in 1997 as its reach expanded across continents. Its journey through air express, changing ownership and eventual integration with Schenker reflects a transforming logistics industry. For collectors and curious travelers, this design brings a memorable chapter of transportation history along for the day.
BAX Global began business on June 15, 1972, in ten U.S. cities as Burlington Northern Airfreight, Inc. (BNAFI), a subsidiary of Burlington Northern Railroad. In 1982, the Pittston Company acquired BNAFI; Pittston later became Brink's. The company adopted the name Burlington Air Express in 1986 and repositioned itself as an overnight air express company. It acquired WTC Air Freight in 1987 and the assets of failed air freight carrier Roadway Global Air from Caliber System in 1995. In 1997, it became BAX Global, a name reflecting expansion across all continents. Headquartered in Irvine, California, it also had major offices in Australia, Singapore, London, the Netherlands and Toledo, Ohio. On January 31, 2006, DB Logistics, Deutsche Bahn's transportation and logistics division, acquired BAX Global from Brink's for $1.1 billion and integrated it with Schenker, its land, sea and air freight branch. Air Transport International, which had operated dedicated aircraft for Burlington Air Express, was sold to Cargo Holdings International when BAX Global was sold; it remained under contract to provide dedicated lift. In July 2011, Schenker Inc. announced it would end domestic airfreight activity in the United States, Canada and Mexico and stop using its remaining 20 aircraft, as cargo was moving by truck.
