An obscure aviation company that recently won a $140 million contract to supply the Department of Homeland Security with jets for deportation flights has reportedly begun buying up old planes.
Daedalus Aviation Corp., which won the contract late last year, has since registered four aircraft, Boeing 737-700 jets previously used by the discount carrier Avelo, according to a review of Federal Aviation Administration data by Bloomberg. The jets are between 17 and 22 years old, the outlet found.
