US Military Deportation Flight can cost more than pay first class

Trump launched last week deportation flights as part of his immigration emergency statement, sending six military flights as immigrants to Latin American countries.

Only four landed, all in Guatemala, after Colombia refused to authorize the landing of two C-17 aircraft, sending their own aircraft to seek immigrants after Trump.

A plane coming from the US with Brazilian deported reached Manaus last Friday, but was not a military aircraft.

A US authority, which spoke to Reuters but asked not to be identified, calculated the cost to operate a C-17 military transport at $ 28,500 per hour. The round trip to Guatemala, not to mention soil or operations to prepare the aircraft for takeoff, took about ten and a half hours, according to the source. A guatemalate authority told Reuters that the plane landed with 64 people on board.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the subject.
