The Embraer Lineage 1000 is a variant of the
Embraer 190regional 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 like the $50.4M
Global 5000, $53.8M
Falcon 7X or $54.5M
Gulfstream G600, but smaller than other airliner conversions; the Boeing 737-700 based
BBJ1 costing $71.4M or Airbus A319 based
ACJ319 costing $87.0M.
Development
The Lineage 1000 received its
certification from Brazil's
ANAC and from
EASA in December 2008. It was certified by the USA
Federal Aviation Administration on 7 January 2009.[2] The first Lineage 1000 was delivered on May 7, 2009.[3]
In October 2013, Embraer introduced the Lineage 1000E, which delivers a greater range of 4,600
nautical miles [nmi] (8,519 km; 5,294 mi). In addition, the new Lineage 1000E features new in-flight entertainment and cockpit options.[4] In 2019, its unit cost was
US$ 49.9 million.[5] In August 2020 Embraer announced that it was stopping sales of the Lineage 1000.[6]
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 10 converted commercial jets.[7]
