- Outsourcing the CIA's Travel Agent: Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen International Trip Planning works with the CIA to secretly transport terrorism suspects to detention centers in what some critics see as an "illegal means of 'outsourcing torture,'" according to an Oct. 30, 2006 article in the New Yorker. In the article, a former Jeppesen employee recounts a comment made by Managing Director Bob Overby in a internal corporate meeting: “We do all of the extraordinary rendition flights — you know, the torture flights.

- Jeppesen handles "many of the logistical and navigational details for these trips, including flight plans, clearance to fly over other countries, hotel reservations and ground-crew arrangements," according to the New Yorker article.
