Abstract: We formulate a perturbative framework for the flavor transformation of the standard three active neutrinos but with non-unitary flavor mixing matrix, a system which may be relevant for leptonic unitarity test. We use the alpha parametrization of the non-unitary matrix and take its elements () and the ratio epsilonsimeqDeltam212/Deltam312 as the small expansion parameters. Qualitatively new two features that hold in all the oscillation channels are uncovered in the probability formula obtained to first order in the expansion: (1) The phases of the complex alpha elements always come in into the observable in the particular combination with the uSM CP phase delta in the form under the PDG convention of unitary uSM mixing matrix. (2) The diagonal alpha parameters appear in particular combinations left(a/b1ight)alphaee+alphamumu and alphamumualphaauau, where a and b denote, respectively, the matter potential due to CC and NC reactions. This property holds only in the unitary evolution part of the probability, and there is no such feature in the genuine non-unitary part, while the delta - alpha parameter phase correlation exists for both. The reason for such remarkable stability of the phase correlation is discussed.
