Embraer expands partnership with Regional One
The first Embrae E-Freighter has successfully entered service in Europe with launch customer Bridges Air Cargo. The jet recently completed its first commercial flight departing from Cologne (Germany) and landing in Larnaca (Cyprus) carrying time sensitive Express materials. The aircraft will operate for Bridges Worldwide providing Network Solutions for the Express Industry in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
“We are thankful to Embraer & Regional One for their unwavering support and expect the Embraer 190 freighter to play a vital role for Bridges to provide network solution at between 8-12 tonnes to the Express Industry. Having obtained our own AOC registered in Malta provides the ideal platform for Bridges to develop and progress E190F operations,” observed Guy Bridges, CEO, Bridges Group.
Reinforcing confidence
“The successful first commercial flight reinforces our confidence in the E190F platform and its ability to deliver a compelling solution across the EMEA region. We look forward to building on this momentum as the program continues to mature,” commented George Mamangakis, Chief Investment Officer, Regional One.
“We are proud to be part in this historic moment and look forward to advancing together toward new opportunities in the cargo market,” stressed Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
In 2025, Embraer expanded its partnership with Regional One, with the addition of two passenger-to-freight (P2F) conversions, doubling its existing order of two. This continued collaboration highlights Regional One’s strong commitment to enhancing its cargo capabilities through Embraer’s innovative P2F conversion program.
