Embraer has handed over the first India-based Phenom 100 to Invision Air Services. The delivery marks the first of 18 entry-level Phenom 100s for the Mumbai-based branded charter start-up, which also has two Phenom 300 light jets on order.
Vinit Phatak, Invision Air managing director, says: "The coming of this jet to India truly marks a milestone for the local general aviation industry. Indian customers will, for the first time, have access to a safe twinjet experience at a price point between two-and-a-half to three-times full-fare business class rates for up to 200 destinations across the country."
He adds: "This will allow our target customers - corporate executives, investors, celebrities and high-end tourists - to travel quickly, efficiently and comfortably to tier two and tier three cities, which we believe will help fuel the much anticipated economic growth in rural India."
