Leased by Regional One, the aircraft will be the first one operating in the Americas

Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ; B3: EMBJ3) and Regional One announced today that BermudAir has become the second operator worldwide of the Embraer E-Freighter. The airline will operate one E190F leased from Regional One, marking the first E-Freighter deployment in the Americas.

Since the launch of the E-Freighter program, Regional One has placed five firm orders for the E190F. Two converted aircraft have already been delivered and have entered successfully into service.

BermudAir currently serves ten destinations across the Caribbean, the United States and Canada with a fleet of two E175s and two E190s. The addition of the E190F expands the airline’s capabilities and reinforces the versatility of the E-Jets platform.

"Cargo is a natural next step for us," said Adam Scott, Founder & CEO of BermudAir. "We've built a reliable, right-sized operation connecting Bermuda and the Caribbean to North America, and the E190F lets us put that same network to work moving express cargo, supporting local businesses, e-commerce and time-sensitive freight across the islands we serve. It's an exciting expanded line of business for BermudAir, and one that builds directly on the operational strengths we've already established.”

“We are excited to welcome BermudAir as the second operator of the Embraer E190F and the first E-Freighter operator in the Americas. As an innovative and rapidly growing airline, BermudAir is an excellent partner to help showcase the versatility and value of the E-Freighter platform. This milestone represents another important step in the continued growth of the E190 P2F program, and we look forward to expanding the global operator base and bringing these highly capable aircraft to customers in markets around the world,” said George Mamangakis, Chief Investment Officer of Regional One.

“BermudAir’s selection of the E190F marks an important milestone for the E-Freighter program as the aircraft enters service in North America and the Caribbean for the first time. As one of the region’s fastest-growing airlines, BermudAir is expanding beyond passenger operations and unlocking new opportunities in the air cargo market. The addition of another operator underscores the strong value proposition of the E-Freighter, which was designed to address a unique gap in the cargo market with the right combination of payload, volume, range and efficiency,” said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.

Built on the proven E-Jets platform with decades of operational success, the E-Freighter is designed to meet the fast-evolving demands of the express air freight industry, which requires fast deliveries and decentralized operations to high yield markets. Combining the lower and upper decks, the E190F offers more than 100 m³ of cargo volume and up to 13.5 tons of payload, enabling the cost-efficient transport of express cargo.

• Adani Defence and Aerospace and Embraer exchanged an enhanced MoU in the presence of the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the Minister of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, Mr Piyush Goyal, regarding the establishment of a manufacturing ecosystem for E-175 regional jets in India

• · The E175’s proven efficiency and reliability align with India’s Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA) vision and the nation’s next phase of regional connectivity

New Delhi, Feb 21, 2026 — Adani Defence & Aerospace, a leading player in India’s aerospace and defence, and the flagship company of Adani Enterprises Ltd and Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3), have exchanged an enhanced Memorandum of Understanding regarding the establishment of a Final Assembly Line (FAL) for the E175 regional jet for India’s Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA) program. The MoU was exchanged between Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO, Embraer and Mr Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Defence & Aerospace in the presence of Honourable President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the Honourable Minister of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, Mr Piyush Goyal.

This advancement from the initial MoU signed in January 2026 represents a significant step forward and forms part of a broader roadmap to develop an integrated RTA ecosystem in India. The MoU also represents strengthening of strategic relations between India and Brazil.

The industrial partnership will aim to establish an ecosystem for the E175. Both companies are already working together to progress all aspects of the MoU, including opportunities in aircraft manufacturing, supply chain, aftermarket services, and pilot training, and securing orders to support the proposed FAL.

“Regional aviation is the backbone of economic expansion. With initiatives like UDAN transforming air connectivity across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the need for an indigenous regional aviation ecosystem has become critical,” said Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Defence & Aerospace. “This partnership will also strengthen strategic relations between India and Brazil, bringing complementary capabilities together.”

“We are shaping India’s regional transport aircraft ecosystem, a bold stride toward Aatmanirbhar aviation that bridges urban-rural divides, generates high-skill employment, and elevates India’s position in the global aerospace industry,” said Ashish Rajvanshi, President & CEO, Adani Defence & Aerospace.

“The E175 has a global track record of enabling efficient, high-frequency regional operations and India is a key growth market in that segment,” said Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO, Embraer. “This signing represents a critical milestone for our partnership, as we continue to work together on all aspects of the proposed aerospace ecosystem, including securing orders for a Final Assembly Line in India.”

As one of the world’s fastest growing aviation markets in terms of passenger traffic, India is expected to require at least 500 aircraft in the 80-to-146 seat segment over the next 20 years. This reflects a strong demand for efficient regional and short-haul connectivity driven by smaller, efficient jets.

The E175, a proven regional jet with seating for up to 88 passengers, is uniquely suited to unlock India’s ‘blue ocean’ opportunities in uncontested market spaces concentrated in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. These markets remain underserved by larger aircraft and the E175 can enable new routes, improved connectivity, reliable operations and accelerated expansion of regional air travel. As the government accelerates efforts to bring air travel to more people, the E175 offers a proven and efficient solution for the RTA, that aligns strongly with UDAN, which is transforming air connectivity across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities of India.

Adani Defence & Aerospace is India’s largest integrated private defence and aerospace player, building critical capabilities across domains and advancing indigenous aerospace and UAV manufacturing aligned with national security priorities and global requirements. With the country’s largest MRO ecosystem and a rapidly scaling pilot training platform, Adani Defence is strengthening India’s aviation value chain end to end.

The aircraft will be configured with 76 seats in a two-class layout – 12 in Business Class and 64 in Economy – offering passengers a comfortable and efficient travel experience.

The first E175 jet delivery is scheduled for the first half of 2027, and the deal will be added to Embraer’s Q4 2025 backlog.

Air Côte d’Ivoire will deploy the E175s on domestic and regional routes, supporting the airline’s goal to grow its network, enhance connectivity, and gradually replace its turboprop fleet. The E175 was selected for its greater range, speed, passenger comfort, and increased cargo capacity compared to turboprops – making it the ideal aircraft to support the airline’s evolving operations.

The aircraft will also play a key role in feeding Air Côte d’Ivoire’s hub in Abidjan, increasing frequencies and strengthening regional links. The airline recently launched long-haul service to Paris Charles de Gaulle, and the E175 will help optimize connectivity to and from the hub.

“This order marks a significant step in our fleet development strategy,” said Laurent Loukou, Chief Executive Officer of Air Côte d’Ivoire. “The Embraer E175 is perfectly suited to our domestic and regional ambitions. Its capacity is perfectly adapted to the size of African markets. Its performance and comfort will allow us to offer a superior passenger experience, while supporting our growth and the development of our Abidjan hub. It also enables us to gradually phase out our turboprop fleet and operate more efficiently across our network while improving our economic performance with better operating costs and profitability."

Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, commented: “We are honoured to welcome Air Côte d’Ivoire to the E-Jet family. Embraer is firmly established as the market leader in the up to 150 seat segment in Africa, the E175 is a proven performer on the continent and its capabilities are a perfect match for the airline’s vision. This aircraft will bring immediate benefits in terms of connectivity, efficiency, and passenger satisfaction, and we look forward to supporting Air Côte d’Ivoire as they expand their network and strengthen their position in the region.”

Currently, Embraer has 250 aircraft in operation, across 56 different African operators. Over the past 10 years, Embraer's fleet in Africa has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. As a result, Embraer now leads the market in Africa for aircraft with up to 150 seats, holding a 31% market share.
