Avelo Airlines to end ICE deportation charters as it cuts commercial flights, jobs

Avelo Airlines will close three bases and end its DHS deportation flights, citing operational costs and complexity despite carrying a record 2.6 million passengers in 2025.

  • Avelo Airlines will stop flying deportation flights for the U.S. government and reduce commercial routes and headcount.
  • The airline agreed to return six Boeing 737-700 airplanes, close bases in North Carolina, and open a base at McKinney National Airport near Dallas.
  • Avelo Airlines said adding the McKinney base will support its growth after recently ordering up to 100 Embraer 195-E2 aircraft.
