Tell Avelo Leadership to Drop the Deportation Contract

Avelo Airlines is the first commercial airline to sign a deportation charter contract with ICE. These flights are secretive and unmarked, with no guarantee of legal counsel or due process for the people being removed. Every day the contract continues, Avelo is profiting from tearing families apart — and gambling its business on mass deportations.

This is a test for corporate America.

If Avelo gets away with it, other companies will follow. If we make them the cautionary tale, others will back off. That starts with flooding their leadership with calls and emails until they realize this contract isn’t worth the reputational cost.

You don’t need to live near an Avelo airport to take action — anyone, anywhere can join in. And check back soon for more ways to take action.

  • Avelo needs to hear from you directly. Call customer service at (346) 616-9500 and tell them to drop the ICE contract for good. Use the script below or make it your own — what matters most is that they hear your outrage loud and clear.

    CALL SCRIPT

    Hi, my name is [Your Name]. I’m calling as a concerned member of the public.

    I want Avelo Airlines to immediately drop its contract with ICE to run deportation flights and commit to never profiting from deportations again.

    Running secretive ICE flights without guaranteeing due process is a moral disgrace. It puts Avelo on the wrong side of history — and it’s costing you customers.

    Until Avelo ends this contract and makes a public commitment not to work with ICE or other deportation profiteers, I will not book flights with your airline. I’ll also tell my friends, family, and community to do the same.

    This is a test for corporate America. You can choose to stand with communities — or stand with ICE. Which will it be?

    Thank you for passing my message to company leadership.

    Hi, this is [Your Name]. I’m calling to demand that Avelo Airlines end its contract with ICE to run deportation flights and commit to never profiting from deportations again. Until you drop this contract, I won’t fly with Avelo — and I’ll encourage others to boycott, too. This is a moral line. Stand with people, not ICE.

    Subject: End Avelo’s Deportation Flights Now

    To the Avelo Airlines Leadership Team,

    I am demanding that Avelo Airlines immediately end its contract with ICE to run deportation flights and commit, publicly and permanently, to never profiting from deportations again.

    These flights are run in secret, without public accountability, and with no guarantee of due process for the people being removed. Partnering with ICE in this way makes Avelo complicit in human rights abuses — and puts your company squarely on the wrong side of history.

    Until you drop this contract, I will not fly Avelo. I will also urge my community, elected officials, universities, and local governments to cut all ties with your company.

    The choice is yours: end the ICE contract now or face escalating reputational consequences.

    [Your Name]
