Signature Aviation said it has taken several steps to use its large network of FBOs and aviation services operations to help combat human trafficking and raise awareness of the illegal activity in and around airports.

The Orlando, Florida-headquartered company said it is supporting government and law enforcement agencies, nonprofit organizations, and corporate groups in their efforts to detect, track, and curb human trafficking. The announcement coincides with the annual increase in public awareness of private aviation that occurs as people travel to Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday in Las Vegas in personal, corporate, and charter aircraft.
