Key Takeaways:

Daher is significantly expanding its North American operations, acquiring a large facility in Stuart, Florida, to increase its footprint and strengthen strategic relationships with OEMs like Boeing.
The TBM series celebrates over 1,100 deliveries, reaffirming its enduring success, while the newly introduced Kodiak 900 is gaining traction for its speed, fuel efficiency, and market expansion without impacting existing Kodiak 100 sales.
Daher is committed to sustainable aviation, implementing measures such as delivering all new aircraft from its Tarbes facility with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and integrating "eco" challenges into its customer engagement apps.

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.
