The general aviation market saw a strong recovery in 2021, with turboprop deliveries increasing by 19 percent over 2020, returning to pre-pandemic levels in shipments and billings.
Daher contributed significantly to this recovery, delivering 68 aircraft (Kodiak 100, TBM 910/940) in 2021, surpassing its 2019 performance despite global supply chain and economic challenges.
North America was the dominant market for Daher's TBM and Kodiak deliveries, accounting for the highest percentage of sales for both models.
Daher attributes its success to product enhancements, such as the Kodiak 100 Series III and the TBM 940's HomeSafe emergency autoland system, and anticipates an "extremely positive" 2022.
