Embraer’s Commercial Aviation division has formed a new global leasing and freighter team, as the manufacturer continues to expand in the cargo and leasing markets.
The new team will be based in Amsterdam, bringing expertise in E-Jet passenger to freighter conversions and commercial aviation leasing activities under one unified structure.
"The creation of the global leasing and freighter team is a critical step in our strategy to capitalise on opportunities in the growing cargo and leasing markets,” said Martyn Homes, chief commercial officer at Embraer Commercial Aviation.
Oliver Gerg will lead the new team and has been appointed senior vice president global leasing and freighter. Gerg will report directly to Holmes.
Just last month Embraer’s E190F aircraft received certification from the European Union Safety Agency (EASA). This followed the freighter aircraft receiving full certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) in 2024.
