First Firm Order for Embraer E-Jet Freighter Conversions

Cargo Conversion Offers Green All Around

Embraer has received a firm order from an undisclosed customer for up to ten of its E-Jet, Passenger to Freight (P2F) conversions. The aircraft to be converted will come from the customer’s current E-Jets fleet, with deliveries to commence in 2024.

Embraer’s E-Jet family is a series of narrow-body (four-abreast) short-to-medium-range, twin-engine, jet airliners. Introduced at 1999’s Paris Airshow, the family of 66 to 124 passenger aircraft has been a commercial success.

The E-Jet family is popular among U.S. regional airlines which value the aircrafts’ ability to efficiently serve lower-demand routes while offering many of the same amenities and features of larger jets.

The freighter conversions will be performed at Embraer’s facilities in Brazil and include extensive modifications to the aircrafts’ interiors; main-deck front cargo-doors; cargo handling systems; floors; pressurization and environmental systems, and smoke detection systems. The aircraft will undergo installations of deck reinforcements; rigid (9G) cargo barriers with access doors; and provisions for hazardous material transportation.

The E-Jet Freighters will have over 50% more volume capacity and three-times the range of large, cargo-turboprops, and up to 30% lower operating costs than legacy narrow-bodies.

Once converted, the E-Jet freighters will have over fifty-percent more volume capacity than they did in their passenger configurations. Substantial gains in payload will also be realized. Embraer claims a gross structural payload of 13,150-kilograms for the E190F, and 14,300-kilograms for the E195F.

Embraer’s young, fuel-efficient, P2F converted E-Jets are advantageously positioned to fill a gap between extant turboprop and narrow-body freighters. The E190F and E195F feature cargo-volumes similar to those of their larger counterparts while offering operators significantly decreased emissions and operational costs.
