Hamilton, Bermuda, September 16, 2026 – BermudAir today announced the newest addition to its fleet, a leased Embraer E190F freighter aircraft, marking the airline’s expanded air cargo service and the first deployment of an Embraer E-Freighter anywhere in the Americas. The aircraft is leased from Regional One, which has placed five firm orders for the E190F since the launch of the E-Freighter program, two of which have already entered service.
BermudAir’s passenger fleet currently comprises Embraer E175 and E190 aircraft serving ten destinations across the Caribbean, the United States and Canada. The E190F will operate as a dedicated freighter alongside that network, giving BermudAir a cargo capability distinct from and complementary to its passenger operations. Subject to regulatory review and approval.
The E190F gives BermudAir a standalone cargo capability that runs alongside its passenger network rather than depending on it. Built on the proven E-Jets platform, the E-Freighter is designed for the fast-evolving demands of express air freight, which relies on quick turnarounds and decentralized operations into high-yield markets. Combining its lower and upper decks, the E190F offers more than 100 m³ of cargo volume and up to 13.5 tons of payload enabling cost-efficient transport of express cargo to and from island communities that are often underserved by dedicated freight service.
