Embraer decided to name its newest business jet the Lineage 1000, drawing parallels to the company’s first business jet, which was also a derivative of one of its passenger airliners.

The Lineage bizliner was officially launched in the spring of last year and is based on the Brazilian manufacturer’s new, 90-passenger E190 twinjet airliner platform. It seemed a natural extension of its successful Legacy business jet program, which was itself based on the ERJ 135 regional jet, said Marco Tulio Pellegrini, Embraer v-p of market intelligence for executive jets.
