ANOTHER MIGRANT DELIVERY

New flight to NY

- By STEVEN VAGO and ISABEL VINCENT

A planeload of migrants was unloaded and dispersed to locations in the New York City area under cover of darkness Friday night, the latest in a series of clandestin­e migrant flights authorized by the White House.

The flights resumed this month after a Post exposé led to their suspension last year.

On Friday, The Post saw migrants disembark from an iAero Airways flight from Jacksonvil­le, Fla., that landed at Westcheste­r County Airport near White Plains at 9:48 p.m.

The passengers were placed on two white J&F Tours charter buses. The Post followed one as it drove to destinatio­ns in The Bronx and Yonkers.

At the first stop, in Yonkers, one of the migrants entered what looked like a dorm complex near the grounds of Sisters of Charity, a Catholic aid center.

The bus then drove to The Bronx, dropping off three women at an apartment building on Kingsbridg­e Avenue.

A group of five men, milling around on a street corner, gave the bus a thumbs-up as it approached the building.

At each stop, three workers holding folders escorted the migrants into their new home and returned to the bus about five minutes later.

On Crotona Avenue in The Bronx, a teen migrant got off the bus with luggage.

“I have to really go,” one of the handlers said when approached by a Post reporter. “We’re behind. We’re behind schedule.”

The man, who refused to give his name, said he worked for MVM Inc., a Virginiaba­sed security contractor that works for the US government.

MVM worked for the CIA and the National Security Agency in Iraq, and last year signed a $136 million contract with the federal government to transport illegal migrants and unaccompan­ied children around the country.

The firm sends out “chaperones” to escort the migrants once they get off the flights.

The last stop occurred just before 2 a.m. Saturday, with the dropoff of a teen at Catholic Guardian Service, an aid group, on Taylor Avenue in Soundview.
