Tac Air subsidiary Keystone Aviation has expanded on its decade-long relationship with Daher as dealer for its TBM series, with the announcement that Keystone has added four Canadian provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia) as well as the state of Alaska to its exclusive distribution area. This is in addition to Keystone’s previously existing sales territory of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming and Montana. “We’ve had a fruitful 10-year partnership with Keystone Aviation in promoting and supporting our very fast turboprop aircraft throughout the Northwestern United States,” said Nicholas Chabbert, senior vice president of Daher’s airplane business unit. “The next step is to build on this relationship by expanding into Western Canada and Alaska.”

“With our expanded sales territory, we will be able to introduce the TBM’s benefits of speed, comfort and efficiency to many potential new customers,” noted Brian Jones, Keystone’s TBM sales director. “The TBM family appeals to owners and operators who desire an aircraft built to commercial airline standards with point-to-point performance equivalent to light jets, while having the ability to operate on almost any runway.”
