Embraer Lineage 1000

The Embraer Lineage 1000 is a variant of the Embraer 190 regional jet airliner, launched as a private jet on May 2, 2006. Manufactured by the Brazilian aerospace firm Embraer until 2017, the Lineage was advertised as an "ultra-large" business jet with seating for up to 19 passengers.

Design

The Lineage 1000 is based on the Embraer 190 airliner, with added fuel tanks in the lower deck cargo hold space, nearly doubling the jet's range. It boasts a lavish interior, divided into up to five sections, including an optional bedroom, a washroom with running water, and a walk-in cargo area at the rear. Its fuselage cross-section is larger than similarly priced business jets, such as the $50.4M Global 5000, the $53.8M Falcon 7X, and the $54.5M Gulfstream G600, although smaller than other airliner conversions, such as the Boeing 737-700 based BBJ1 that costs $71.4M and the Airbus A319 based ACJ319 that costs $87.0M.

Development

The Lineage 1000 received its certification from Brazil's ANAC and from EASA in December 2008. It was certified by the USA Federal Aviation Administration on 7 January 2009. The first Lineage 1000 was delivered on May 7, 2009.

In October 2013, Embraer introduced the Lineage 1000E, which delivers a greater range of 4,600 nautical miles [nmi] (8,519 km; 5,294 mi). In addition, the new Lineage 1000E features new in-flight entertainment and cockpit options. In 2019, its unit cost was US$ 49.9 million. In August 2020 Embraer announced it was stopping sales of the Lineage 1000.

On 6 October 2020, the Pakistan Navy announced the selection of the Lineage 1000 to replace its P-3C Orion in the maritime patrol role, with ten converted commercial jets.
