Philippine Air Force 220th Airlift Wing also known as the ‘Airlifters’ is the primary unit providing tactical airlift operations Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). It is strategically housed in Mactan-Benito Ebuen Air Base in Cebu.
“Airlifters have managed to provide capability such as providing support to internal security operation, conduct of sovereignty patrols, VIP movements, national development efforts and crisis response,” the Air Force said.
The Air Force notes that aside from performing various airlift missions, the other equally important task is on aircraft maintenance, only to ensure that these are operational-ready aircraft that can perform such missions anytime, anywhere.
Almost 20,000 man-hours was recorded from 2016 up to this date in order to correct almost 4,000 various discrepancies as part of both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, the Air Force said.
“The maintenance personnel led by the 470th Maintenance Support Group Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Thorsten Ajello Bautista PAF and Major Rhanjee Lao PAF have truly proven their commitment and capacity to go beyond what is expected of them,” Air Force said.
