Between 2006 and 2015, Mexican authorities seized 599 aircraft — 586 planes and 13 helicopters — that the cartel used to ship drugs throughout Mexico and Latin America, according to information from the Mexican defense ministry (Sedena)obtained by Mexican newspaper El Universal.
The largest legitimate airline in the country, Aeroméxico, has 127 planes.
If Guzmán’s cartel were a legal business, El Universal notes, it would likely be one of the most successful in the country, based on its 4,771 clandestine landing strips — between 550 yards and 1,100 yards in length — dotting Mexico’s northern states.
"I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world,” Guzmán said in a Rolling Stone interview published in January.

That's almost twice as many planes as the Mexican Air Force.
How will he escape this time?
They arrest him but he keeps all his money,hows that?
He still owns his air force? Just asking...
