Russian charter firm Jet2000 reached an agreement with Kaskol, Sokol and Myasischev, which jointly developed the M-101T Sokol (formerly Gzhel), to conduct trials of the new turboprop single on air-taxi services from Moscow Vnukovo Airport.
This makes Jet2000 the first commercial user of the business turboprop, which received Russian certification more than a year ago but has so far failed to win any firm orders.

“We are enthusiastic about the Sokol trials, although we do not expect to make a profit from them initially,” said Jet2000 chairman Leonid Koshelev. The company has applied to Russian civil aviation authorities for permission to operate the airplanes. The agreement with the Sokol plant, which builds the M-101T, calls for the “long-term operational lease” of two aircraft. Currently, the aircraft are being outfitted with new interiors as specified by Jet2000.
