Podcast: Best Practices to Combat Human Trafficking

July 31, 2023

Business aviation can play an important role in combating human trafficking operations that, according to a recent study, forced an estimated 27.6 million people worldwide into involuntary labor in 2021. “Aviation professionals are very good at what they do,” notes the Department of Homeland Security’s Michael Camal. “If they see something that seems abnormal – if someone [a passenger] doesn’t know where they’re going, if it doesn’t seem like they are free to [hold their identity documents] – those are big red flags, and there are ways to safely report it.”

In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:

• Michael Camal, senior engagement manager for the Blue Lightning Initiative at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
• Jacquie Dalton, founder and president of Sparrow Executive Jets, a business aviation company participating in the Blue Lightning Initiative
