Development
Four pre-series S-80 aircraft were constructed: one static test airframe, one flying prototype, one full-size mockup and one fatigue test airframe.[1] Aircraft 01-02 made its first flight on 4 September 2001.
Variants
There are two different models of Su-80. The four pre-series aircraft were of a short-fuselage design, while the fifth, sixth and seventh prototypes were stretched by 4 ft 7 in (1.4 m) allowing an extra row of passenger seats.[1]
Operational service
Eight aircraft from the second production (first definitive) batch are earmarked for delivery to customers.[1]
Commercial orders
Blagoveshchensk Airlines, ChukotAvia, Dalavia, the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski Aviation Enterprise, and Polar Airlines have all signed preliminary agreements for the acquirement of the type.[1] The KnAAPO factory airline is expected to be the Su-80s first operator.[1]
Military Orders
The Kazakh Federal Border Guards have tenatively ordered ten Su-80s, while the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force, Jordanian Air Force, Malaysian Air Force and Republic of Korea Air Force have all expressed interest.[1]
