In 2022, Embraer and NAC announced their intent to develop a cargo conversion program based on the E1 airframe. The announcement came with an order for 10 E190Fs.
The announcement was followed by news from NAC that it had a deal with Kenya-based Astral Aviation for two freighters. Regional One was another potential customer that drew attention.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
