UK Deportation Charter Flights: Collective Expulsion in 2017
This report is published responding to the call for the weeks of action
against deportations starting on Monday 9 January. See:

In 2013, Corporate Watch published a research report titled “Collective
Expulsion: the case against mass deportation charter flights”. Three
years later, not much has changed. The UK continues to make political
deportation deals with governments of its former colonies and war zones.
Almost 2,000 people a year are still loaded onto secretive night flights
from Stansted airport, handcuffed by private security “escorts”, in one
of the most brutal facets of the detention and deportation regime.
This factsheet updates recent facts and figures, but doesn't supplant
the more in-depth analysis in the 2013 report. It also adds a new
section containing short summary profiles of some of the main companies
involved in the charter flight business: security guards Tascor (a
subsidiary of Capita), plane charter company Titan Airways, and travel
bookers Carlson Wagonlit.
