Shell companies
One set of companies associated with rendition existed only on paper, with no premises, staff or web address. They were business entities created solely to have official ownership of certain aircraft, and so to conceal the true ownership by the CIA. Shell companies that have been identified by past investigations include the following (click on the links to see the aircraft associated with each company):
Aviation Specialties
Bayard Foreign Marketing
Crowell Aviation Technologies
Devon Holding and Leasing
Keeler and Tate Management
Path Corporation
Premier Aircraft Management
Premier Executive Transport Services
Prescott Support
Presidential Aviation
Rapid Air Transport, Inc.
Stevens Express Leasing, Inc
Prime contractor
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) was the prime contractor for at least one of the outsourced elements of the renditions programme, inheriting the role when it took over DynCorp in 2004. Under the prime contract, which remains classified, DynCorp, and consequently CSC, entered into agreement with the CIA to provide a range of aircraft for covert operations (including renditions). In turn, the prime contractors entered into agreement directly or indirectly with a set of brokering companies in order to source and secure the use of particular aircraft for the ‘end user’.
Brokers
At least three brokering companies provided services to DynCorp/CSC, either directly or indirectly (through entering into agreement with another broker working on behalf of the prime contractor):
Capital Aviation
SportsFlight Air
Air Marketing
Operating companies
Aircraft operators are companies which maintain private aircraft on behalf of their owners, and may also provide them for customers who want to charter an aircraft, either on a one-off basis or under a rolling contract. These companies exist on the ground (unlike shell companies), although some such as Aerocontractors and Tepper Aviation may for all intents and purposes run by the CIA. Others are truly private concerns, and provide their services to a range of clients in the private sector.
Some operating companies also own the aircraft they run, while others operate on behalf of independent entities. In practice it can often be difficult to clearly identify the difference between operators and owners, and such a distinction may not always be useful. Some of the companies which have operated aircraft linked to the renditions programme include the following (click on the links to see the aircraft associated with each company):
