Embraer Lineage 1000 (Original): Complete Specs, Performance, and Buyer's Guide (2026)
The Embraer Lineage 1000 (Original variant, in production from 2008 to 2013, sales stopped August 2020) is Embraer's foundational ultra-large business jet based on the Embraer E190 regional jet platform - launched as a private jet on May 2, 2006 and the platform that established Embraer in the VIP airliner segment alongside Boeing BBJ and Airbus ACJ. Per Wikipedia: "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." 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. The original Lineage 1000 first flew in October 2007. FAA certification was awarded on January 7, 2009. First two production aircraft were delivered in December 2008. Entry into service: May 2009. The aircraft model won the IDEA / Brazil design award in 2008. Production ended 2017 (per Wikipedia). Sales stopped August 2020 (per Wikipedia). In October 2013, Embraer introduced the upgraded Lineage 1000E (extended range and enhanced interior) which superseded the original 1000 in market focus. Powered by two General Electric CF34-10E7-B high-bypass turbofan engines (each producing 18,500 lbf of thrust at 82 kN, fly-by-wire flight controls), the original Lineage 1000 delivers Mach 0.82 max cruise speed (470 knots), 4,200 nm range (per Craft Pod / FlyCraft), 4,400 nm per Jetcraft, 4,500 nm max per Craft Pod, and 41,000 ft service ceiling. Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite standard with dual FMS, worldwide database capability, vertical glide path mode, coupled LNAV/VNAV, pictorial vertical situation display, SATCOM, and weather radar detection software. Cabin: 84 ft (25.6 m) length, 8.5 ft (2.49 m) width, 6.7 ft (2.05 m) height, 4,085 cu ft volume (per FlyCraft for 1000E sharing same airframe). 13-19 passengers (typical 13-19) in five distinct cabin zones (optional bedroom + washroom with running water + walk-in cargo area at rear). Up to three lavatories (one with stand-up shower). Larger fuselage cross-section than similarly priced business jets (vs Global 5000 at $50.4M, Falcon 7X at $53.8M, Gulfstream G600 at $54.5M), though smaller than other airliner conversions (vs $71.4M Boeing 737-700-based BBJ1, Airbus A319-based ACJ319). 626 GPH fuel burn per Craft Pod. Pre-owned 10-year-old Lineage 1000: $15-19M per FlyCraft (significantly less than new $53M). New original Lineage 1000 list price approximately $50M (less than Lineage 1000E's $53M new). Hourly charter rate $11,000 per Craft Pod. For operators wanting Embraer's foundational ultra-large business jet based on the proven Embraer E190 regional jet platform (substantially larger cabin than traditional ULR business jets like Global 5000 / Falcon 7X / Gulfstream G600 at competitive price), two GE CF34-10E7-B engines (18,500 lbf each), 4,200-4,500 nm range, Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, fly-by-wire flight controls, five cabin zones (optional bedroom + stand-up shower + walk-in cargo), and IDEA Brazil 2008 design award-winning interior, the Lineage 1000 represents Embraer's foundational VIP airliner platform.

Same GE CF34-10E7-B engines, same airframe basics.
How is the Lineage 1000 different from the Embraer E190?
The Lineage 1000 is a VIP airliner variant of the Embraer E190 regional jet. Key differences: added fuel tanks in lower deck cargo hold space (nearly doubled range vs E190's airline range), luxury interior with 5 cabin zones instead of E190's airline seating, door plugs (rear left + right side rear are non-opening), left front access door for passengers, executive layout with master suite + galley + lounge + dining + entertainment + office areas. Same E190 airframe and powerplant family.
How is the Lineage 1000 different from the BBJ / ACJ?
The Lineage 1000 occupies the mid-tier VIP airliner segment between traditional ULR business jets (Global 5000 / Falcon 7X / G600) and full VIP airliner conversions (BBJ1 / ACJ319). Per JETVIP: "Against the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ), the Lineage 1000E requires 40% less runway length for takeoff, accessing over 4,000 airports worldwide versus approximately 2,000 for the BBJ, while offering comparable cabin comfort at about 35% lower acquisition and operational costs." Original Lineage 1000 priced ~$50M vs BBJ1 $71M+ and ACJ319 $80M+.
What engines power the Lineage 1000?
Two General Electric CF34-10E7-B high-bypass turbofan engines, each producing 18,500 lbf of thrust (82 kN). Total thrust: 37,000 lbf. Same engine family as the Embraer E190 commercial airliner. The CF34-10E series provides industry-leading commercial heritage with modern reliability.
How far can a Lineage 1000 fly?
The original Lineage 1000 has a range of 4,200 nm per Craft Pod / FlyCraft (4,400 nm typical per Jetcraft, up to 4,500 nm max per Craft Pod). This enables routes like Aspen to Miami, Geneva to Seychelles, Mumbai to Oslo, and London to New York non-stop.
What's the five-zone cabin layout?
Per AirCharterServiceUSA: "One of the largest cabins in its class features five zones. The first zone laid out with three club seats, foldable tables and a bar. The second zone has a divan seat and two single clubs with a foldable table. The third and fourth feature a lounge and office with a long divan, single club seats and a sideboard with a 32-inch LCD screen workstation. The fifth zone is furnished as a double bedroom with a wardrobe, sideboard and walk-in shower." Optional master suite with queen-sized bed plus walk-in cargo area at the rear.
When did Lineage 1000 production end?
Per Wikipedia: "Manufactured by the Brazilian aerospace firm Embraer until 2017." In August 2020, Embraer announced it was stopping sales of the Lineage 1000. The Lineage 1000E succeeded the original 1000 in October 2013 with extended range and enhanced interior options - though both variants continued in parallel production until 2017.
What's the Lineage 1000 pre-owned market like?
Pre-owned 10-year-old Lineage 1000: $15-19M per FlyCraft (industry-leading value considering ultra-large cabin at this price). Pre-owned today per AirCharterServiceUSA: ~$43M (newer/better-conditioned aircraft). Original new list price: ~$50M. The Lineage 1000 represents excellent value compared to BBJ / ACJ at substantially higher new prices.
Who flies Lineage 1000 aircraft?

North America has the largest percentage of wholly owned Lineage 1000 aircraft with 43%, followed by Western Europe with 29% per Jetcraft.
What's a national navy "Sea Sultan" variant?
a national navy announced on October 6, 2020 the selection of the Lineage 1000 to replace its P-3C Orion in the maritime patrol role - with 10 converted commercial jets designated "Sea Sultan." Two delivered in 2020. The Sea Sultan represents Embraer's first major military patrol conversion of the Lineage 1000 platform.
The Bottom Line
The Embraer Lineage 1000 (Original variant, in production from 2008 to 2013, with sales stopped August 2020) represents Embraer Executive Jets' foundational ultra-large business jet that established Embraer in the VIP airliner segment alongside Boeing BBJ and Airbus ACJ. With substantial industry-defining capabilities (based on the proven Embraer E190 regional jet platform with added fuel tanks in the lower deck cargo hold space nearly doubling the jet's range vs commercial E190, two General Electric CF34-10E7-B high-bypass turbofan engines providing 18,500 lbf of thrust each at 82 kN with 37,000 lbf total thrust - the same engine family as the E190 commercial airliner providing industry-leading commercial heritage with modern reliability, fly-by-wire flight controls, Honeywell Primus Epic avionics with dual FMS + worldwide database capability + vertical glide path mode + coupled LNAV/VNAV + pictorial vertical situation display + SATCOM + weather radar detection software, Mach 0.82 max cruise speed at 470 knots / 543 mph, 4,200-4,500 nm range enabling routes like Aspen to Miami + Geneva to Seychelles + Mumbai to Oslo + London to New York non-stop, 41,000 ft service ceiling, industry-leading ultra-large cabin of 84-85 ft length + 8.1-8.5 ft width + 6.5-6.7 ft height + 4,085 cu ft volume - one of the largest cabins in business aviation, five distinct cabin zones in industry-first design including forward lounge with three club seats and bar + mid-forward with divan and clubs + lounge and office with 32-inch LCD workstation + master suite with double bedroom and walk-in shower, optional master suite with queen-sized bed, up to three lavatories with stand-up shower option, full-service galley capable of gourmet dining, 323 cu ft walk-in cargo storage at aft + 120 cu ft external compartment for 20 suitcases + hand luggage capacity, advanced sound insulation, large panoramic windows, advanced climate control, high-speed internet + cabin Wi-Fi standard, IDEA / Brazil 2008 design award recognition, "flying apartments" per Embraer marketing), the Lineage 1000 delivered Embraer's foundational VIP airliner platform. Launched as a private jet on May 2, 2006. First flight October 2007. FAA certification awarded January 7, 2009. First two production aircraft delivered December 2008. Entry into service May 2009. The Lineage 1000 fuselage cross-section is substantially larger than similarly priced traditional ULR business jets (Global 5000 at $50.4M, Falcon 7X at $53.8M, Gulfstream G600 at $54.5M) while smaller than full VIP airliner conversions (Boeing 737-700-based BBJ1 at $71.4M, Airbus A319-based ACJ319 at $80M+) - establishing the Lineage 1000 in the mid-tier VIP airliner segment at substantially better value.
