An Oxford-based maker of aircraft-refuelling vehicles and systems has secured an order worth £400,000 in Burma.

Flightline Support, which has supplied two 20,000-litre refuelling vehicles to Yangon airport, is among the first UK businesses to win orders in Burma since trade sanctions were lifted 12 months ago. It has received help from UK Trade & Investment to export more than three quarters of its £8 million turnover.

Sales and marketing manager Richard Lewis said: “When the tender came up in 2013, we worked closely with our local partner company, which provides fuel and fuelling expertise, to secure the deal.”

Stephen Myatt, aerospace specialist for UKTI South East, said: “Flightline is a fantastically ambitious company. It is already a well-established global exporter, yet it continues to enter new markets.”
