Neely previously served for twelve years as regional vice president of sales in North America with Embraer. He was appointed vice president of freighters in 2023, bringing eighteen years of industry experience, including roles with British Aerospace, Fairchild-Dornier, ATR and Continental Airlines.

Embraer announced at the Farnborough International Airshow in England last week that it had obtained certification from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency for its E190F conversion program. The Brazilian plane manufacturer expects to receive FAA and EASA certification for the new freighter program later this year.

U.S. Cargo Systems installed the cargo-loading system for the prototype in June. The 2010-vintage unit 19000360, owned by Regional One, conducted its first test flight in April.

Embraer will begin converting its second E190F for Regional One by yearend and expects to start converting the E195 prototype in 2025.
