Embraer inks postal deal

Fabiano Silva dos Santos, the Correios president, said the partnership should "bring more efficiency to our logistics network and thus benefit the Brazilian population, which is our greatest mission as a public company and representative of the federal government. 

"We are the largest air cargo operators in the country".

Santos also said remodelling the mail company's air network is part of 'Correios do Futuro' (Correios of the Future). 

Embraer already is working on its first conversion from E-Jet to a cargo version of the aircraft, having already successfully completed the first flight test. It currently has two contracts for converting up to 20 E-Jets into freighters.
