Embraer’s E-Freighter is Certified by the FAA

Issue: 10-2024

The E-Freighter, Embraer’s E190F has been fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Embraer’s passenger-to-freighter conversion and the Cargo Loading System, developed by US Cargo Systems, have received the certification by FAA in September 2024. In July, the E-Freighter was certified by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) and EASA certification is due later this year. The aircraft was developed to fill a gap in the air cargo market and to replace older, less efficient models.

The E190F programme was launched in May 2022 to meet the changing demands of e-commerce and modern trade, which require fast deliveries and decentralised operations driving the demand for faster delivery of shipments to regional markets. E-Jets converted to freighters will have over 40 per cent more volume capacity, three times the range of large cargo turboprops, and up to 30 per cent lower operating costs than larger narrowbodies. If combining capacity under the floor and main deck, the maximum structural payload is 13,500 kg for the E190F.
