The aircraft has already been tested for ground pressurisation and cargo loading.
Neto added: "E-Jets converted to freighters will have over 50 per cent more volume capacity, three times the range of large cargo turboprops, and up to 30 per cent lower operating costs than narrow-bodies.
"If combining capacity under the floor and main deck, the maximum structural payload is 13,500 kg for the E190F and 14,300 kg for the E195F.”
