Embraer E190 Freighter Earns Triple Certification
The Embraer E190 Freighter has obtained full certification from the world’s leading aviation agencies. The model received approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), allowing it to operate globally. In 2024, it achieved certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), solidifying its presence in the world’s most important cargo markets.
Development and First Public Appearance
The E190F program began in May 2022 with the goal of filling a gap in the air cargo market and replacing older, less efficient models. Its first flight took place in April 2024, and its public debut was at the Farnborough Airshow in July 2024.
Adaptation to the Demands of E-commerce
The growth of e-commerce has transformed global logistics, generating an increasing demand for fast and decentralized deliveries. Embraer’s E-Freighter has been specifically designed to meet these needs, enabling efficient cargo transport to regional markets, not just metropolitan areas.

We have developed the perfect aircraft to meet this market need, providing efficient logistics solutions not only for metropolitan areas but for all regions of the world.”
