The allegation is based on information from an ex-employee who quoted Bob Overby, managing director of the company as saying "We do all of the extraordinary rendition flights—you know, the torture flights. Let's face it, some of these flights end up that way. It certainly pays well." The article went on to suggest that this may make Jeppesen a potential defendant in a lawsuit by [[Khaled El-Masri]].<ref>[https://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/061030ta_talk_mayer The C.I.A.'s Travel Agent] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029192727/http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/061030ta_talk_mayer |date=29 October 2013 }}, Jane Mayer, ''The New Yorker'', 23 October 2006.</ref> Jeppesen was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the [[ACLU]] on 30 May 2007, on behalf of several other individuals who were allegedly subject to extraordinary rendition. The suit was dismissed on 8 September 2010 by a federal appeals court because "going forward would reveal state secrets".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/08/AR2010090807334.html |title=Suit dismissed against firm in CIA rendition case |date=9 September 2010 |first=Peter |last=Finn |newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref>
