EASA certifies Embraer E190F freighter variant

simpleflying.com

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified the Embraer E190F, a converted freighter variant of the E190 and E195 aircraft. This certification, issued on November 7, adds the E190F to the aircraft's type certificate data sheet. EASA is the third major regulatory body to approve the E190F, following Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency in July and the FAA in October. The E190F offers increased cargo capacity and lower operating costs compared to existing freighters. The E190F will fill a unique niche in the air cargo market, as no other small narrowbody aircraft have been certified for conversion to freighters. Deliveries of the E190F are expected to begin in 2024.
