In a constant effort, the Amazonas Air Group -GAAMA of the Colombian Aerospace Force continues to transport recyclable and post-consumer material to the capital city in order to reduce the ecological footprint and environmental impact in this area of the country.
In 2023, more than 58 tons of usable material such as PET bottles, cans and paper have been transported; post-consumer waste such as oils, batteries, luminaires, among others have in the same way been transported. This is in compliance with the agreements of the recycling table for the Amazon formed by the Amazonas Sin Límites Foundation, CORPOAMAZONIA and the Colombian Aerospace Force.
For this mission, the Air Institution has designated its medium and heavy aircraft, such as Boeing C-40, Hercules C-130 and Casa C-295. It should be noted that all safety and inspection procedures are carried out on each flight in order to safeguard the good physical condition of the crew on board.
In order to take care of and preserve the environment, the Amazon Air Group will continue to support and carry out these initiatives where pollution is reduced and it contributes to the social fabric in the capital city of the department, reaffirming its commitment to promoting the preservation of ecosystems, as well as the guidelines of the National Government in social responsibility policies.
