Avelo Airlines wants you to think they’re “refreshingly simple.” What they don’t put on the billboards and “hello, avelo” marketing posters: they’re the first commercial airline in the U.S. to sign a deportation charter contract with ICE. Unmarked, secretive flights. No guarantee of due process. Public money subsidizing mass deportations.

Avelo paints their aircraft white to avoid the association of their brand with their reprehensible corporation with ICE and DHS.

DON’T LET THEM HIDE! CALL THEM OUT!

Avelo operates out of Tampa International, Lakeland, and Sarasota/Bradenton airports. Lakeland has given Avelo fee waivers and up to $30,000 in additional support to operate at Lakeland Linder Airport.

TELL AVELO TO END THE DEPORTATION FLIGHTS!
