Daher Shipments Fall In 2019 Overall Daher Socata has been known for pushing-out alot of single-engine turboprops across their line by the end of a particular year. In 2018, Daher delivered 50 TBM aircraft. Compare that to 48 TBMs handed over in 2019 by the company. 2019's results are the first results since Daher made the acquisition of Quest Aircraft and therefore their Kodiak aircraft has to be added to the delivery tally. In 2019 Daher shipped 20 Kodiak Series II turboprops which is slightly down from the 23 they delivered in 2018. Overall Daher shipped combined between the TBM family and the Kodiak family, 68 units in 2019, compared to 73 in 2018.
North America continues to be the major shipping ground for the Kodiak which accounted for 14 of the 20 units delivered in 2019. 11 of those went to operators in United States while three were delivered to Canada. The others were handed over to operators between China, Thailand and Europe. As for the TBM line, Latin America, Europe, Japan and the United States were the markets where this family shipped to in 2019. For more information: SOCATA North America, Inc.
