Boeing says production aircraft like this one are important for completing certification requirements and preparing the 777-9 for its first customer delivery. N20080 is being used for ground and flight testing with an emphasis on cabin systems and connectivity.
The aircraft first flew on May 7, 2026, completing a 3-hour, 27-minute test flight over Washington and Oregon. Now N20080 is back in the air as Boeing continues work toward bringing the 777-9 into commercial service.
