Embraer arrived at this year’s NBAA convention buoyed by delivery of its sixth Lineage 1000 and with a record Lineage flight covering 4,015 nm in the company log. The sixth Lineage delivered went to the Al Habtoor Group of Dubai in early September. An executive/VIP version of the company’s E190 airliner, it is being managed and operated by Royal Jet, based in Abu Dhabi.

The twinjet has a stateroom with queen-size bed and shower, three lavatories, conference tables, 23-inch LCD monitors, a refrigerator and a wine chiller. An aft baggage compartment is pressurized and accessible during flight. Cockpit equipment includes electronic fly-by-wire controls and Honeywell’s Primus Epic avionics suite.
