ACASS is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its global footprint with the launch of ACASS India. The operation combines the resources of Montreal-based ACASS and Mumbai-based Invision Air to anchor and enhance ACASS's decade-long business aviation support presence in India.

ACASS India is part of an ACASS strategy to increase the accessibility and depth of its aircraft sales and support offerings in India and surrounding regions, leveraging Invision Air's in-country presence, experience, reputation, and capabilities.

The new outfit is helmed locally by ACASS India president Vinit Phatak and vice-president Jayant Nadkarni, and internationally by ACASS CEO Andre Khury and president Frank Ercolanese.

“Launching ACASS India is a particularly proud moment for us,” said Khury. “We've poured a great deal of time, effort, and heart into serving the Indian business aviation market over the past 10 years, and now we're putting a stake in the ground and saying, 'We've been here through thick and thin, and we're here to stay.'”

ACASS India will work to establish itself as a go to resource and trusted partner for the region's business aviation community, advising and supporting clients through the myriad issues and concerns that define corporate aviation today. It will deliver a full gamut of best-in-class support services, including aircraft sales and acquisitions, flight crew staffing, aircraft management, and entry into service, as well as maintenance and technical oversight support.

“Collaborating with ACASS is a natural fit for us,” said Phatak. “We share similar core values and compatible business cultures. ACASS India takes our complementary customer-centric service offerings, processes, and safety standards and creates a whole even greater than its parts. We couldn't be happier to be part of the ACASS family.”
