Comco

Comco is the de facto name of an American company operating two Boeing 757 aircraft.

Overview

Little is known about the exact nature of their operation, but the aircraft are believed to operate on behalf of the United States Department of Defense.^[1] There is speculation they are occasionally repainted to display military serial numbers instead of the customary civilian registration code.^[2] They are often confused with the similarly secretive and sparsely marked Boeing C-32B Gatekeeper aircraft, modified 757's operated by the U.S. Air Force.^{[citation needed]}

The aircraft are painted white, and have either the word COMCO on the tail or stylized blue sweeps on the tail, fuselage, and engine

When parked and unused, the aircraft have padlocks which seal each of the exits, a highly unusual modification for an aircraft of its type and size.[5]

Fleet

In 2003, a Comco aircraft, registration N610G, was forced to land after being intercepted by aircraft from the Indian Air Force after it strayed into Indian airspace on a flight from Karachi to Malé.^[9][10] The flight was permitted to continue after the crew were interviewed by authorities.^{[citation needed]}
