BOSTON — Governor Maura Healey is demanding that Signature Aviation end its role in facilitating deportation flights for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of Hanscom Field airport.
In a letter to CEO Tony Lefebvre, Governor Healey urged Signature Aviation to immediately sever ties with ICE and stop providing services that support deportation flights out of Hanscom, including coordinating with charter operators, fueling aircraft, and facilitating access to the airfield and tarmac.
