El Paso, TX Agency Halts Flights Pending Safety Review
When the US Customs and Border Patrol merged in 2005, it created
the largest law enforcement air fleet in the world with 250
aircraft. The agency is planning to expand the fleet next year to
267. But, with two recent fatal aircraft accidents and the airspace
over the border becoming more congested and active, people are
getting worried the number of accidents will also increase.
