Business AviationDaher delivers 76 TBM and Kodiak aircraft in 2025
Daher Aircraft delivered a total of 76 airplanes in 2025, according to data released by the manufacturer. The total comprised 51 TBM 960 aircraft produced at the company’s Tarbes facility in southwest France and 25 Kodiak aircraft assembled at its U.S. industrial site in Sandpoint, Idaho. Kodiak deliveries included both the Kodiak 100 and the larger Kodiak 900 versions.
Production and deliveries continued through the end of the year, with the company prioritizing aircraft handovers to customers despite changes in market conditions during 2025.
During the year, Daher completed the 600th delivery of an aircraft from the TBM 900 series. The TBM 900 family has accounted for the largest share of TBM deliveries since the aircraft type entered service in 1990.
The TBM 960, the current production version of the TBM line, is equipped with a dual-channel digital Engine and Propeller Electronic Control System, automated flight assistance functions under the TBM e-copilot architecture, flight envelope monitoring, and the HomeSafe emergency autoland system.
Multi-mission operations accounted for part of the 2025 deliveries. Conair Group, based in Canada, received its second and third TBM 960 aircraft configured for “birddog” wildfire support missions. These aircraft were operated during the 2025 fire season in British Columbia, where they were used to monitor fire behavior and coordinate airtanker operations.
The Americas remained the main destination for TBM deliveries. More than 75 percent of the aircraft delivered during the year went to customers in North and South America. Europe accounted for 23 percent of TBM deliveries, with 12 aircraft handed over.
Almost 1,700 aircraft delivered
Kodiak aircraft deliveries continued to be driven by multi-mission requirements, which accounted for about 30 percent of Daher Aircraft’s total deliveries in 2025. Law enforcement agencies formed the majority of Kodiak customers.
Kodiak 100 aircraft were delivered to the Virginia State Police, New York State Police, and San Jose Police Department. A Kodiak 900 was delivered to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona. The Montana Department of Natural Resources accepted the first Kodiak 900 configured for firefighting support operations.
The Kodiak 100 entered service in 2008 and is currently produced in the Kodiak 100 Series III configuration. The Kodiak 900, a larger and faster variant, was introduced by Daher in 2022.
In 2025, Daher Aircraft established operations in São Paulo, Brazil. The move supports sales, customer support, and fleet development for TBM and Kodiak aircraft in Brazil and other Latin American markets.
As of December 31, 2025, Daher Aircraft reported cumulative deliveries of 1,294 TBM aircraft and 390 Kodiaks worldwide. The global fleet has accumulated approximately three million flight hours.
Daher is an industrial group active in aerospace, defense, and manufacturing, with operations in Europe, North America, and other international markets.
