The passenger-to-freighter conversion market gained a new player Monday as Embraer launched the E190F and E195F, adding lifespan to aging E-Jets and finding a new capacity niche in the resurgent P2F market. The Brazilian airframer says it designed the E-Jet freighters to meet the evolving nature of e-commerce and modern trade, which calls for ever-faster delivery times and a need for decentralized operations.
