Embraer and Regional One have announced that BermudAir has become the world’s second operator of E-Jet freighter aircraft.
BermudAir will operate one Embraer E190F aircraft leased from Regional One. This marks the first E-Jet freighter operation in the Americas. Regional One has placed firm orders for five Embraer E190F aircraft, two of which have already been converted, delivered, and entered service.
Adam Scott, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BermudAir, commented, “Cargo is a natural next step for us. We have built a right-sized operation connecting Bermuda and the Caribbean with North America, and the Embraer E190F allows us to leverage that same network for express cargo transport.” George Mamangakis, Chief Investment Officer of Regional One, said, “BermudAir, an innovative and rapidly growing airline, is an excellent partner in demonstrating the versatility and value of the E-Freighter.”
The Embraer E190F is converted from a passenger aircraft to a freighter. It offers more than 100 cubic meters of cargo capacity across its lower cargo hold and main deck, with a maximum payload of 13.5 tonnes. Its maximum load capacity is 13,500 kilograms. Compared with conventional narrow-body freighters, it reduces operating costs by 30% while providing comparable cargo capacity and range. Compared with large turboprop freighters, it offers 35% more capacity and more than three times the range.
BermudAir currently serves 10 cities in the Caribbean, the United States, and Canada with two Embraer E175 aircraft and two Embraer E190 aircraft.
