Pakistan Navy Lineage 1000
Recently the first Lineage 1000 in Pakistan Bharia (Pakistan Navy) markings was spotted taking off from Karachi.
It is the first of up to ten required to replace the P-3 Orion. The airframe is not converted to Maritime Patrol configuration and is in fact fitted out as VIP transport.
The ERJ190BJ (construction number 19000453) was obtained second hand from China Southern Airlines General Aviation, where it flew as B-3203.
Unknown yet is who is going to do the conversion work and when the other airframes will arrive. If you have more information, please let us know at
