Embraer’s first Lineage 1000 executive jet is making a debut here at the Dubai Airshow, six months after it was delivered to launch customer Aamer Abdul Jalil al Fahim of Abu Dhabi at the EBACE show in Geneva in May. Eight more of the new $42.9 million airliner-class twinjets are set to be delivered to customers in the Middle East–almost half of the 20 orders placed to date.

The Lineage here this week is operated on Al Fahim’s behalf by Abu Dhabi-based Prestige Jet. As of last month, it had logged more than 180 hours–110 hours for the owner and the remainder for third-party charter customers.
