China: 20 more Embraer E190/E195 to be converted into freighters

During the Paris Air Show, aircraft manufacturer Embraer and the Lanzhou Aviation Industry Development Group signed a letter of intent to convert 20 E190 and E195 aircraft from passenger to cargo aircraft. The agreement provides for cooperation in building up conversion capacities in Lanzhou, China, to support the introduction of first-generation E-Jet cargo aircraft on the Chinese market. The Lanzhou Group will be the first customer for Embraer's passenger-to-cargo aircraft conversion program in China and the basis for the company's conversions in this country. Some time ago, Embraer launched a cargo variant of the E190/E195 series. These are former passenger aircraft that are being converted into freighters. There is a gap in the market in this size segment. Due to the fact that many operators in the passenger sector are increasingly switching to the successor E2 series, used aircraft are comparatively cheap. This makes the regional jets attractive for cargo airlines. Both Embraer and its Chinese contract partner see great growth potential in the People's Republic. Cargo demand is increasing year after year. The Brazilians believe that the converted freighters will play an important role in this. Embraer does not yet offer any E-Jet freighters ex works, although this could certainly change. It is assumed that there could be demand in China for around 700 converted E-Jet freighters.

Friedrichshafen looks back with satisfaction on the year 2022

Friedrichshafen Airport had to seek insolvency proceedings due to the corona pandemic, among other things. This also enabled the airport to get rid of certain legacy issues. Now the airport sees itself on the way forward again. Last year, Lake Constance Airport was used by 339.550 travelers. This corresponds to around 70 percent of the volume that was recorded before the pandemic in 2019. Growth was mainly driven by tourist routes but also by low-cost traffic to Eastern Europe. After the corona restrictions on travel were lifted, demand was high and led to a rapid recovery in this traffic. "In view of the fact that there was virtually no travel in the first three and a half months of 2022 due to corona and that Friedrichshafen Airport also felt the effects of the operational problems of the major airports indirectly over the course of the summer, we are very pleased with these figures," says Claus-Dieter Wehr, Managing Director of Friedrichshafen Airport. Economically, the year was marked by the termination of the insolvency proceedings under self-administration on March 31.03.2022, 1. Due to the insolvency proceedings, two financial statements for short financial years were necessary. One for the period of the ongoing insolvency proceedings from June 2021, 31 to March 2022, 1 and the second for the period from April 2022, 31 to December 2022, XNUMX, in order to return to the calendar year. The financial statements are characterized by a number of special effects that the insolvency proceedings brought with them and which lead to high positive annual results. For this reason and due to the changed observation period, a comparison with previous years' periods is not meaningful. With the termination of the insolvency proceedings on
