Daher’s turboprop-powered TBM and Kodiak aircraft deliveries in 2025 marked new programme milestones and further broadened the customer base across private owners, operators and public service agencies.
During the year, Daher Aircraft delivered a total of 76 aircraft. This included 51 TBM 960s produced at the company’s Tarbes facility in south-west France, and 25 Kodiaks built at its US industrial site in Sandpoint, Idaho. The Kodiak deliveries comprised both the flagship Kodiak 100 and the larger Kodiak 900 variants.
“Our teams remained fully mobilised through the final days of 2025 with one clear priority: delivering for our customers,” said Daher Aircraft CEO Nicolas Chabbert. “Their commitment highlighted our ability to stay focused on execution and customer promises, even as conditions evolved during the year.”
A major highlight was the delivery of the 600th TBM 900-series aircraft, confirming the series as the most successful in the TBM family since the type entered service in 1990.
Daher Aircraft’s 2025 deliveries also included notable achievements in the multi-mission segment for both the TBM and Kodiak. Canada-based Conair Group took delivery of its second and third TBM 960s configured as “birddog” aircraft to support wildfire-fighting operations. In this demanding role, the TBM 960s are flown continuously overactive fires to monitor conditions, assess risks and coordinate airtanker drops of water or retardant.
During their first operational deployment in the 2025 fire season, the TBM 960s demonstrated strong capability and reliability while supporting Conair’s aerial firefighting missions in British Columbia.
Geographically, the strongest markets for TBM deliveries remained North and South America, which together accounted for more than 75% of the total in 2025. Europe represented 23% of the annual volume, with 12 aircraft delivered.
