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, the Lineage is advertised as an "ultra-large" business jet with comfortable seating for 19.
The Lineage 1000 is largely based on the successful Embraer passenger jet, the Embraer 190, 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 5 sections including an optional bedroom, 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 Sukhoi Superjet 100, B737-based $71.4M Boeing Business Jet-1 or A320-based $87.0M Airbus Corporate Jets319.
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 to HE Aamer Abdul Jalil Al Fahim on May 7, 2009.
In October 2013, Embraer introduced the Lineage 1000E, which delivers greater range - 4,600 nm (8,519 km). In addition, the new Lineage 1000E features new in-flight entertainment and cockpit options.
