SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS (BNS): Embraer has delivered the first Phenom 100 entry level jet to India.

The aircraft is the first of 18 Phenom 100s that Invision Air Services Pvt. Ltd., a Mumbai-based on-demand air charter company, ordered three years ago, along with two Embraer Phenom 300 jets.

“We are excited to have the Phenom 100 jet enter service in India this year,” said José Eduardo Costas, Embraer Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Asia Pacific – Executive Jets.

“With the delivery of our first Phenom 100 jet, we look forward to establishing a branded charter service beyond anything India has seen before,” said Vinit Phatak, Managing Director of Invision Air.

“The coming of this jet to India via Invision Air truly marks a milestone in the local general aviation industry. Indian customers will, for the first time, have access to a safe twin-jet experience at a price point between two-and-a half to three time’s full-fare business class rates for up to 200 destinations across the country.

This will allow our target customers – corporate executives, investors, celebrities, and high-end tourists – to travel quickly, efficiently and comfortably to Tier II and Tier III cities, which we believe will help fuel the much anticipated economic growth in rural India.” he said.

The entry level Phenom 100 can accommodate up to eight occupants and has seven different interior options designed in partnership with BMW Group DesignworksUSA.
