In the early hours of Tuesday,a Colombian Aerospace Force (FAC) aircraft touched down in Colombia,carrying 110 nationals deported from Louisiana,United states. This marks the fourth repatriation flight conducted by the FAC, bringing the total number of individuals returned to over 400 within the framework of these operations.
The mission utilized Boeing 737-700 aircraft, optimized for capacity and efficiency, in collaboration with U.S. authorities. “The repatriation process has been developed with the accompaniment of both nations, guaranteeing safe conditions for deportees,” the government stated. This joint effort underscores the commitment to ensuring the safety and dignity of those being repatriated.
The Colombian Foreign Ministry has emphasized respect for the dignity of each individual, avoiding the recording or dissemination of images from the flights. This decision aligns with requests from the deportees themselves and adheres to strict human rights protocols.
To date,the operation of these flights has cost the nation $2.2 billion pesos,a significant investment in ensuring the humane and orderly return of its citizens.
