BRAZIL- <\/strong>In S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos, Brazil, the first Embraer E190F, converted from passenger to freighter<\/a>, successfully completed its maiden flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Embraer<\/a> team evaluated the aircraft during the two-hour flight, with additional testing planned before operational use. Regional One, a leasing company from the United States, owns this aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embraer CEO on E-Freighter Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Francisco Gomes Neto<\/strong>, President and CEO of Embraer, explains, “The E-Freighter program presents Embraer with a significant business opportunity, as it meets the surging global demand for cargo transport driven by e-commerce while demonstrating the exceptional operational performance of the advanced E-Jets family.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We highly appreciate the rapid progress of the E190F and E195F during the testing phase. These aircraft will become essential assets for our customers, enabling more agile and decentralized delivery operations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural flight is part of a series of assessments conducted by Embraer before the E-Freighter jets are put into service. The aircraft has already passed ground pressurization and cargo loading tests successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E-Jets Freight Conversion Program Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The E-Jets converted into freighters will offer over 50% more volume capacity, triple the range of large cargo turboprops, and up to 30% lower operating costs than narrowbodies. When combining the capacity under the floor and on the main deck, the maximum structural payload for the E190F is 13,500 kg, and for the E195F, it is 14,300 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2022, the E190F and E195F Passenger to Freight Conversions (P2F) program engaged a global network of over 40 suppliers and more than 600 employees, who dedicated over half a million hours to the E-Freighter project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
