Signature and ICE
Signature is the largest “fixed base operator” in the United States, providing aviation fuel and support services across more than 200 different locations. As such, it provides logistical support to the private charter companies ICE uses for its detainee flights. As documented by ProPublica in 2023, Signature has even worked with ICE in the past to purposely refuel these planes in areas out of public view.
