Avelo Airlines’ Decision To End ICE Deportation Flights ‘Not Political’

January 8, 2026 Luke Peters, Aerospace Global News. , , , ,
On 6 January, Avelo Airlines announced a raft of changes to its route structure and passenger fleet to consolidate its financial position following the securing of additional financing. It now appears that those plans will also include the dropping of all ICE deportation flights operated by the carrier on behalf of the DHS. In April 2025, the carrier announced that it had signed a long-term contract with CSI Aviation, the US government agency that organises the logistics behind all ICE flights. Upon the announcement that Avelo would be operating the DHS-sponsored deportation flights, the airline established a standalone base at Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) and dedicated three of its 14 Boeing 737-800s to the operation.
