Key Takeaways:

Daher's 2019 acquisition of Kodiak has significantly enhanced the Kodiak 100's manufacturing processes, production efficiencies, and product support, improvements widely praised by the aircraft's team.
The Kodiak 100 is a versatile utility aircraft designed for backcountry and mission-based flying, now successfully integrated into Daher's product portfolio alongside their TBM series.
The aircraft offers robust performance, including the ability to take off from unimproved airstrips under 1,000 ft, a loiter time of up to 10 hours, and a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles.

When Daher took on the assets of Kodiak in 2019, it sought to incorporate its expertise in single-engine turboprop aircraft into the production and further development of the Idaho-based company’s utility aircraft. The result was the Kodiak 100, and an improved production process that veterans of past parent company Quest Ventures clearly appreciate.

“This milestone delivery comes as the Kodiak program is on the rise following its acquisition by Daher in 2019,” said Mark Brown, Kodiak’s director of sales and marketing, and chief demo pilot. “Having been with Kodiak for eight years, the improvements made since 2019 in terms of manufacturing enhancements, production efficiencies and the product support integration is remarkable. These are exciting times, and I’m really proud to be part of the team at Daher’s Aircraft Division.”
