in July 2023 Irkut, a manufacturer of passenger aircraft and the Yak-130, was renamed Yakovlev, after the founder of one of the most famous design offices in the Soviet Union, Alexander Yakovlev (1906-1989). The company is part of the state-owned United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) group (Объединённая авиастроительная корпорация, Obyedinyonnaya Aviastroitelnaya Korporatsiya, OAK), which brings together major Russian aerospace companies and is part of the Rostec consortium. All the companies that make up UAC share a new logo (see Yak-130 #131 in prototype section below).

Dates of delivery (not production!) of serial aircrafts, without prototypes

May 2005 contract between Sokol and MoD for 12 aircrafts.

Preserial (not counting prototypes!) production between 2009 and 2011 is realised by «Sokol» Aircraft Building Plant in Nizhnyi Novgorod (Нижегородский авиастроительный завод «Сокол»).

  • Aircrafts were produced in 2009 and 2010.
  • Aircraft no. 90 first flight 19 May 2009, June 2009 sold by Sokol to MoD, displayed in MAKS-2009 with red numer with blue outline. Later red number with white outline like others from 1st series (91, 92 and 93). In 2011 transferred to Borisoglebsk, then to Voronezh renumbered to 29.
  • Aircraft no. 91 shifted to Borisoglebsk, then to Voronezh renumbered to 30.
  • Aircraft no. 93 crashed 29 May 2010 in Lipeck (after that 90 and 91 were shifted to Borisoglebsk in 2011).

  • Aircrafts are out of service since about 2015. Some were seen in Voronezh.
  • In 2018 some were overhauled (121st Factory @ Stariy Gorodok, Kubinka): 21 23 24 30

  • There's a unexpected gap between aircraft no. 28 from 2011 (factory no. 0203) and 31 (1001) from 2012. But aircrafts nos. 29 and 30 (white with red outline, RF 81670) really exists: are used in Voronezh Air Force Academy for educational purposes (29 inside a classroom!). It's a renumbered no. 90 (factory no. 0101) and 91 (0102) from Lipeck. It must happened before September 2012 when no. 1001 was produced in Irkutsk and get number 31.

Irkut Corporation bought out Yakovlev in 2008, in 2009 formed Engineering Center named after A. S. Yakovlev and shifted production to Russia’s far east - city of Irkutsk, so since 2011 serial production for Algeria, Russia and other countries is realised in «Irkut» Aviation Plant in Irkutsk.

First serial Yak-130 was produced in 2009 in Irkutsk, first flight 19 May 2009, number 134 (4th prototype). It was a pattern for serial production for Algeria - first customer.

2011 December: contract between Irkut and MoD for 55 aircraft until end of 2015 (with option for 10 additional).
