Embraer approached Correios do Brasil, a Brazilian state-owned postal company, in order to offer cargo transportation solutions with E-Freighter and C-390 Millennium jets.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed during FIDAE and will “conduct joint studies to advance the optimization and expansion of the Brazilian and international air networks for large cargo and good”.
According to Embraer, the strategic partnership aims to improve efficiency in parcel delivery and reduce operational costs.

The Brazilian company intends to place the E190F, E195F jets and even the C-390 military freighter on cargo flights for the Post Office, an application that is still unprecedented for the aircraft.
“With this partnership, we will be able to bring more efficiency to our logistics network and thus benefit the Brazilian population. We are the largest air cargo operators in the country; no other logistics company has even half the airlines and cargo handled by Correios, ” said Fabiano Silva dos Santos, President of Correios.
“We are very pleased to collaborate with Correios in studying a more efficient logistics network for the transport of goods, both in Brazil and internationally. Embraer has a consolidated aircraft portfolio, and the solutions to be studied together will allow Correios to expand its service offering to its customers with high reliability and efficiency,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.
No deadlines were revealed for the results of the studies to be presented.
