The pair were convicted in March this year, following a major eight-year investigation by the National Crime Agency into the activities of a significant Albanian organised crime syndicate.
Albanian nationals Myrteza Hilaj, 50, and Kreshnik Kadena, 37, both from Leyton, were behind at least nine migrant journeys in 2016 and 2017, three of which were via a light aircraft to an aerodrome in Essex. Hilaj was the UK co-ordinator for the multi-national organised crime group.
