Embraer Lineage 1000
View on WikipediaThe 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.
Key Information
Design
[edit]

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 $87.0M.[citation needed]
Development
[edit]The Lineage 1000 received its certification from Brazil's ANAC and from EASA in December 2008. It was certified by the USA Federal Aviation Administration on 7 January 2009.[2] The first Lineage 1000 was delivered on May 7, 2009.[3]
In October 2013, Embraer introduced the Lineage 1000E, which delivers a greater range of 4,600 nautical miles [nmi] (8,519 km; 5,294 mi). In addition, the new Lineage 1000E features new in-flight entertainment and cockpit options.[4] In 2019, its unit cost was US$ 49.9 million.[5] In August 2020 Embraer announced 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 ten converted commercial jets.[7]

Lineage 1000
The original ultra-long-range business jet model, launched on May 2, 2006, as a private variant of the Embraer 190 regional airliner. It features a spacious cabin for up to 19 passengers and a range of 4,400 nautical miles with eight passengers. First delivery occurred in May 2009.[1]Lineage 1000E
An enhanced version introduced on October 21, 2013, at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention. It incorporates additional fuel tanks, aerodynamic improvements, and a higher maximum takeoff weight for an extended range of 4,600 nautical miles with eight passengers. Other upgrades include better fuel efficiency, higher payload capacity, improved cabin acoustics, new seating configurations, electric pocket doors, a refreshed galley, and the Honeywell Ovation Select 2.0 cabin management system. Optional features comprise Autoland capability and the Embraer Enhanced Vision System (E2VS). Certification was received from ANAC and EASA in 2014. Production of the Lineage 1000 series, including the 1000E, ended in August 2020.[4][1]Operators
Civil operators
The Embraer Lineage 1000 and its enhanced variant, the Lineage 1000E, are operated primarily by private charter companies, corporate entities, and high-net-worth individuals for ultra-long-range executive transport, offering configurations for up to 19 passengers in a spacious five-zone cabin. As of late 2025, around 20-25 aircraft remain active in civil service globally, with the majority based in Europe, the Middle East, and North America, reflecting the type's appeal for transcontinental flights such as Europe to Asia or the US East Coast to the Middle East.[1][5] Notable civil operators include several specialized charter providers that leverage the aircraft's efficiency and range for premium services. AirX Charter, based in Malta with operations across Europe, maintains the largest fleet of Lineage 1000s, utilizing them for high-capacity long-haul charters accommodating up to 19 passengers per flight.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Falcon Aviation Services, headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, operates Lineage 1000s for VIP charters and regional executive travel in the Middle East, emphasizing the aircraft's reliability derived from its commercial airliner heritage.[12][13][14][15] Other prominent charter operators feature the type in their fleets for luxury services. Air Hamburg, now integrated into VistaJet following its 2022 acquisition by Vista Global, deploys the aircraft for European and transatlantic charters, highlighting its low operating costs compared to larger business jets.[1] Flex Flight International utilizes it for international premium charters, capitalizing on the extended range of the 1000E variant.[1] Corporate and private ownership accounts for a significant portion of the active fleet. MGM Resorts International in the United States operates two Lineage 1000s for executive transport related to its hospitality operations.[16][17] VistaJet, the Malta-registered global charter network, includes two in its fleet for worldwide ultra-long-range flights (registrations D-ANNI and D-AWOW).[18][19][20] Additional private operators, such as Mytri Aviation in India (one aircraft) and Premiair in the US (one aircraft), employ the Lineage 1000 for personalized travel needs.[21][22]| Operator | Country/Base | Fleet Size (Lineage 1000/1000E) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AirX Charter | Malta/UK | 5 | Largest operator; used for 19-passenger long-haul charters across Europe and beyond.[6][11] |
| Falcon Aviation Services | UAE | 2 | VIP charters in the Middle East; registrations include A6-HHS and T7-SBH.[13][14] |
| VistaJet | Malta | 2 | Global ultra-long-range operations; registrations D-ANNI and D-AWOW (includes former Air Hamburg assets post-2022 acquisition).[18][19][20] |
| Flex Flight International | International | 1 | Premium international charters.[1] |
| MGM Resorts International | USA | 2 | Corporate executive transport; registrations N783MM and N785MM.[16][17] |
Military and government operators
The Brazilian Air Force operates two Lineage 1000 aircraft as VIP transports for secondary presidential duties.[1] The Pakistan Navy is the primary military operator of the Embraer Lineage 1000, utilizing converted variants for maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare roles under the Sea Sultan program.[25] In October 2020, the navy announced its selection of the Lineage 1000 to replace its aging fleet of Lockheed P-3C Orion aircraft, with plans to acquire and modify up to ten units for long-range maritime patrol aircraft (LRMPA) duties.[26] These conversions, performed by Leonardo in collaboration with Paramount Aerospace Systems, integrate advanced sensors, radar systems, and weapon stations to enhance surveillance over Pakistan's extensive maritime borders in the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.[27] Three Lineage 1000 aircraft have been delivered to the Pakistan Navy as of March 2025 (the first in 2021 for training purposes), with the first fully Sea Sultan-configured Lineage 1000E expected to enter operational service in 2026, marking the initial phase of a multi-year acquisition effort.[28][29] The platform's baseline capabilities, including a range of approximately 8,500 km and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, are augmented with mission-specific enhancements such as electro-optical/infrared turrets, sonobuoys, and anti-ship missiles, enabling extended endurance for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.[30] This adaptation leverages the Lineage 1000's spacious fuselage—derived from the Embraer E190 regional jet—for operator consoles and equipment bays while maintaining its twin General Electric GTFW PW190 engines for reliable performance in contested maritime environments.[25]Specifications (Lineage 1000/1000E)
