Leasing Firm Expands Cargo Fleet with Brazilian Aircraft
Azorra, a leasing firm specializing in small narrowbody aircraft, has placed an order for 20 Embraer E-190F cargo aircraft, with options for 10 more, at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow. The aircraft will undergo Embraer’s Passenger-to-Freight program, which converts used E-Jet airliners into cargo aircraft. According to Embraer, the E190F offers significant advantages over ageing B737 Classic freighters and turboprop aircraft, including lower operating costs and increased cargo volume. Azorra’s CEO cited the aircraft’s reliability and cost-effectiveness as key factors in the investment. The deal was announced during the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow, as reported by AeroTime.
