Air Fleet
Many fixed-wing aircraft of the PGR were obtained after confiscated, so their air fleet consists of various types, of which very few of them are appropriate to the tasks against drug trafficking. Its current fleet consists of Commander Gulfstream jets 840, 900, 980 to 1000, Learjet, Citation I and II, and Grumman. They also operate several aircraft type Cessna , and Piper King Air.During the administration of President Fox , most of the air fleet of the PGR-just over 100 units, was abandoned because we did not perform the required maintenance. In November 2007, during the administration of Calderon , the PGR yielded 58 helicopters to the Ministry of National Defense ( SEDENA ) to be mend and perform work for the eradication of drug crops. In 2008, the PGR submitted an official request to the Ministry of Finance to buy 30 Eurocopter helicopters new for surveillance and interception.
