Key Takeaways:

Daher is significantly expanding its North American presence, acquiring a large facility in Florida, growing its workforce, and strengthening relationships with OEMs like Boeing.
The TBM series has achieved over 1,100 deliveries, while Daher is also heavily investing in sustainability, including using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for all aircraft deliveries from its main production facility.
The new Kodiak 900 turboprop is creating a new market segment with its faster, more fuel-efficient design, larger cabin, and strong initial orders, especially in North America, with EASA certification anticipated soon.

Flying on efficient wings, the new flagships of Daher’s turboprop line—the TBM 960 and the Kodiak 900—arrived on Sunday at the Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) for the 2022 National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (NBAA-BACE).

Daher’s leadership highlighted the company’s sustainability efforts in a press conference on Monday, along with updates to both aircraft programs and its recent acquisition and expansion in Florida.
