Daher Aircraft last year delivered 82 turboprop singles (56 TBM 960s, 15 Kodiak 100s, and 11 Kodiak 900s), marking an 11% increase from 2023. The company also logged net orders for 100 TBMs and Kodiaks in 2024, with its aircraft backlog now extending into 2026.
“The market demand for TBM and Kodiak continues to be resilient, benefitting from the versatility and operational efficiency of these aircraft, which is backed by Daher’s commitment for continual improvement across the product lines,” said Daher Aircraft CEO Nicolas Chabbert. He also recognized the company’s procurement, production, and support teams “for their steadfast commitment in managing the supply chain during what continues to be challenging times.”
More than half of the TBM deliveries last year went to repeat buyers of TBM family aircraft, according to Daher. The U.S. continued as the leading market for these aircraft, with 40 of the 56 TBM 960 handed over in 2024 going to customers there. Also in the Americas, four TBMs went to Brazilian customers, while two of the turboprops were delivered in Canada and one in Bolivia. Daher said Europe demonstrated “increased market strength” last year with nine TBM deliveries—three each in Germany and the UK, and one each for Cyprus, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic.
The U.S. was also prominent in Kodiak utility aircraft shipments, with all but one of the Model 900s delivered last year going to customers there, including a multi-mission version accepted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol for transportation and logistics operations. The other Kodiak 900 was handed over to a private owner in the Dominican Republic. Many of the 15 Kodiak 100s shipped last year also went to U.S. customers.
As of December 31, the global fleet of 365 Kodiaks and 1,243 TBMs collectively logged nearly three million flight hours, Daher said.
