The first Embraer Linegae 1000 bas bee delivered to HE Aamaer Abdul Jalil Al Fahim, Chairman of Ark Angel Investments. The aircraft will be on display at EBACE before heading to Abu Dhabi where Prestige Jet will manage the aircraft.
“We are honoured by Mr. Al Fahim’s choice of the Lineage 1000 and to be able to work with Prestige Jet in the introduction of this new, exciting ultra-large business jet programme,” said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President & CEO. “The Lineage 1000 offers fantastic comfort and performance attributes, exceeding all of its original design assumptions and fostering its great market potential.”
Al Fahim added: “I am certain that this Lineage 1000 aircraft will play an integral role in the future success and progress of our business, on all fronts.”
The Lineage boasts an extended maximum range over its design goal. Up from 4,350nm (8,056km) to 4,500nm (8,344km) when carrying four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves.
The Lineage can accommodate up to 19 passengers in a 4,085 cubic feet (115.7 cubic metres) cabin complete with five separate privacy zones.
Naturally it can be fitted with WiFi technology and offers some 323 cubic feet (9.14 cubic metres) or luggage space.
The Linegae is a modified Embraer E190 regional airliner and was announced at EBACE three years ago.
