TARBES, France -- Daher logged sales for 68 turboprop-powered aircraft in 2019, including 48 aircraft from the TBM family and 20 Kodiak 100 Series II utility turboprops.
Deliveries of the TBM family continued to be focused in the U.S. market. Daher delivered 38 airplanes to U.S. customers. It delivered six aircraft to European customers, and three to Latin American customers. It also delivered one TBM 940 version in Japan, marking the first sale of a TBM in this country since the acquisitions of several TBM 700s by Japanese customers during the TBM program’s early days.
The biggest market for the Kodiak was North America: which accounted for 14 deliveries, including 11 in the United States and three in Canada. Asia ranked second with three Kodiak aircraft delivered in China and one in Thailand, followed by two deliveries to European customers.
With Daher’s addition of Kodiak to its aircraft portfolio last year, the 2019 sales results were the first to include both the Kodiak and TBM in the company’s annual tally of new business.
