Embraer’s E190 Converted Freighter Takes Maiden Flight
Embraer has successfully conducted the maiden flight of its Embraer E190F, a passenger aircraft converted into a cargo plane, based on the Embraer E190 model.
The flight took place over São José dos Campos in Brazil, lasting approximately 2 hours. The aircraft is owned by Regional One, a leasing company from the United States. It has already passed ground pressurization and cargo loading tests successfully. Further tests will continue.
This is part of the “E-Freighter program,” started in 2022, aiming to meet the rising global demand for cargo in E-commerce. Converting to cargo planes increases the load capacity by more than 50%, and reduces operational costs by up to 30% compared to narrow-body aircraft. The maximum payload capacity is 13,500 kilograms for the Embraer E190F and 14,300 kilograms for the Embraer E195F.
