Embraer plans to start physical work on its first E195 freighter conversion next year.
The Brazilian commercial aircraft manufacturer confirmed to Air Cargo News that it would begin developing its freighter conversion programme by the end of this year and start modifications in 2025.
The company has not provided an expected completion date for the first E195 freighter yet.
At the end of last year Embraer completed work on its first E190 freighter conversion, and stated it would use the same P2F process for its E195 conversions.
The company launched its programme to convert E190 and E195 passenger aircraft to freighters in March 2022.
The E-Jet freighter programme has been created in response to e-commerce growth and increased demand for cargo capacity, especially to smaller markets.
The E190F has a payload of 10,700kg and the E195F a payload of 12,300kg.
