The overall figures represent a slight decrease compared to 2024, when 82 aircraft were delivered to customers. However, this development reflects the general situation in supply chains across the aviation industry and is not perceived as a structural weakening of demand.
Delivery Structure and Regional Distribution
Of the total number of aircraft delivered, 51 were TBM 960s, manufactured in Tarbes, France, and 25 were Kodiak utility aircraft, produced in Sandpoint, Idaho, USA. More than 75% of TBM deliveries were to North and South America, while Europe accounted for approximately 23% of the total volume, or 12 aircraft.
These figures confirm the long-term strong demand for single-engine turboprop aircraft with pressurized cabins, especially in North America, where operators appreciate their combination of performance, range, and operating efficiency.
TBM Program Milestone and Technological Development
During 2025, Daher delivered the 600th aircraft in the TBM 900 series, which has become the most successful variant of the entire TBM family since its introduction, dating back to 1990. The current production model, the TBM 960, represents the technological pinnacle of the program.
The aircraft is equipped with modern avionics, a dual-channel digital engine and propeller control system EPECS, the TBM e-copilot® function, and the HomeSafe™ system, enabling automatic emergency landing. These features position the TBM 960 among the most advanced single-engine turboprop aircraft available today.
Kodiak: Workhorse for Special Missions
The Kodiak program continues to confirm its role as a versatile platform for multi-purpose operations. The basic Kodiak 100, introduced in 2008 and now produced in the Series III version, is optimized for operation from short and unpaved runways. The newer Kodiak 900, introduced in 2022, offers higher performance, speed, and longer range thanks to its 900 horsepower engine.
Daher’s Growth
By the end of 2025, Daher had delivered a total of 1,294 TBM aircraft and 390 Kodiaks, which together have accumulated approximately three million flight hours. These figures confirm the operational maturity of both types and their long-term application in civil, government, and special operations.
Further development includes the opening of a new office in São Paulo, strengthening Daher’s presence in the rapidly growing Latin American market.
Management Perspective
CEO Nicolas Chabbert stated that the achieved results are proof of the company’s ability to fulfill its commitments to customers even in changing market conditions. The Daher Group, founded in 1863, now employs more than 14,000 people worldwide and achieved revenues of 1.8 billion euros in 2024.
