Daher delivered 76 TBM and Kodiak turboprops last year, the French manufacturer announced today. Total deliveries fell 7% last year from the 82 aircraft delivered in 2024 and included 51 TBM 960s from its Tarbes production line in southwest France and 25 Kodiak 100s and 900s from its Sandpoint, Idaho factory.
Last year saw the 600th delivery of a 900-series TBM, with the first members of the series having entered service in 2014. The product line is now led by the TBM 960, which features a dual-channel engine and propeller electronic control system and Daher’s “e-copilot” features, including ice protection, flight-envelope monitoring, and HomeSafe autoland system.
According to Daher, more than three-quarters of all deliveries went to customers in North and South America during 2025. Last year, the company established a base in São Paulo, Brazil. Europe accounted for 23%, with 12 aircraft delivered there. At the end of December, the company had delivered 1,294 TBMs and 390 Kodiaks overall.
Popular applications for the aircraft include law enforcement, with multi-mission roles accounting for 30% of last year’s deliveries. Customers include multiple U.S. police departments from states including Virginia, New York, California, and Arizona, as well as the Montana Department of Natural Resources.
Daher now offers a firefighting version of the Kodiak 900. Canadian operator Conair Group has received a pair of TBM 960s equipped for so-called “birddog” support roles for teams fighting forest fires.
“Our teams remained fully mobilized through the final days of 2025 with one clear priority: delivering for our customers,” said Daher Aircraft CEO Nicolas Chabbert. “Their efforts underscored Daher Aircraft’s capacity to stay focused on execution and customer commitments, especially as conditions evolved during the year.”
