Endangered Embraer: The Lineage 1000
A rare Embraer Lineage 1000 made a welcome visit to Dallas Love Field this week! The Lineage 1000 is the business jet version of the Embraer 190 regional jet and is quite the rare bird with around 30 built.
Launched in 2006, the Lineage 1000 was advertised as an ultra large business jet that can comfortably seat 19 passengers. Unfortunately for Embraer, sales of the Lineage 1000 were fewer than expected with the onslaught of competing products such as the Global 6000, Falcon 7X, and G550s which also boast superior economics. As a result, in 2020 Embraer announced they would be discontinuing the Lineage 1000 and consolidating all its efforts into its Praetor and Phenom line instead.
This beautiful Lineage 1000 is owned by Los Angeles-based fashion designer James Perse and is seen here departing Dallas Love Field for Opa Locka, Florida after a short visit.
