Embraer’s E-Freighter Receives FAA Certification
Embraer’s E-Freighter, a converted passenger-to-freighter version of its E190 jet, has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. This certification allows the E190F to operate commercially in the United States and expands air cargo options for carriers. The E190F is designed to transport a variety of cargo, including perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and even automotive parts. The aircraft’s large cargo door and holds allow for easy loading and unloading of pallets, making it an attractive option for cargo operators. The certification is seen as a strategic move by Embraer to capitalize on the growing demand for air cargo capacity and to provide a cost-effective alternative to larger freighters. With the FAA certification, the E190F is set to enter service with several airline operators, including Atlas Air, which has already taken delivery of several converted aircraft.
