Embraer’s E190F cargo aircraft, known as the E-Freighter, has been fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).<\/p>\n
The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer announced that both its passenger-to-freighter conversion and the Cargo Loading System, developed by U.S. Cargo Systems, received FAA certification in September 2024.<\/p>\n
This certification follows approval from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) in July, with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification expected later this year.<\/p>\n
Embraer developed the E-Freighter to address a gap in the air cargo market and replace older, less efficient models.<\/p>\n
The E190F program was launched in May 2022 in response to changing demands in e-commerce and modern trade, which require faster deliveries to regional markets.<\/p>\n
Martyn Holmes, Chief Commercial Officer of Embraer Commercial Aviation, highlighted the significance of the FAA certification.<\/p>\n
“FAA certification is an important milestone in our passenger-to-freighter conversion program,” Mr Holmes said.<\/p>\n
He added that the E-Freighter aims to meet the growing global demand for faster deliveries to all regions, not just metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n
The E-Freighter offers several advantages over existing cargo aircraft. Embraer claims the converted E-Jets will have over 40% more volume capacity, three times the range of large cargo turboprops, and up to 30% lower operating costs than larger narrowbody freighters.<\/p>\n
The E190F has a maximum structural payload of 13,500 kg when combining capacity under the floor and on the main deck.<\/p>\n
The aircraft made its debut flight in April and was first publicly displayed at the Farnborough Airshow in July.<\/p>\n
This certification marks Embraer’s entry into the dedicated freighter market, leveraging its existing E-Jet footprint across the United States and worldwide to offer new cargo solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
