The Lineage 1000 is largely based on the successful Embraer passenger jet, the E-190. The greatest change in the Lineage 1000 is the added fuel tanks in the lower deck cargo hold space, nearly doubling the range of the jet. ...The Lineage 1000 is only topped in available space by the 737 and A319 and A318 ....
The Lineage 1000 received its certification from Brazil's ANAC and from EASA in December 2008. It was certified by the USA Federal Aviation Administration on 7 January 2009.[3] The first two production aircraft were delivered in December 2008.

Bombardier's launch of the 100 seat CRJ1000 could help the airframer penetrate the low-cost carrier market, and the company plans to target those airlines with the new aircraft.
The airframer debuted the CRJ1000 last month, with Air France subsidiary Brit Air, Italian airline My Air and an unnamed customer placing a total of 38 firm orders for the derivative of Bombardier's CRJ-700/900 family of regional jets.
Ngo noted Bombardier is not unaware of the potential use by LCCs of the CRJ-700/900/1000, but it hasn't seen "such use in the U.S." He noted, however, that European low-cost carriers have tapped into the aircraft family, noting that AtlasJet leased two CRJ-700s before buying -900s outright. My Air's decision to buy the CRJ1000 came because its Airbus A320 aircraft were not satisfying its full fleet requirements.
