India’s Invision Defers Phenoms as Business Plan Changes
Tough market conditions in India have forced charter operator Invision to scale back its fleet plans.

India’s Invision Air has abandoned plans to build a wholly owned fleet of Embraer Phenoms, switching its business model to one based largely on aircraft management and a plan to provide flights connecting smaller cities within the state of Maharashta.

The Mumbai-based group has shelved plans to buy six Phenom 300s and six of the smaller Phenom 100s. After a deal signed in 2007, it had held options for a total of 18 Phenoms, but Invision managing director Vinit Pathak told AIN that these are now “deferred and in abeyance,” adding that Embraer understands the economic pressures that have forced the change of plan and has been “very flexible.”
