The US government will buy six Boeing Co. 737 jets to carry out deportation flights, expanding the administration’s efforts to ramp up the removals of people living in the country without legal status.
The aircraft will be acquired from Daedalus Aviation under a contract valued at about $140 million, according to a report first published by the Washington Post, which cited two people familiar with the agreement.
