55 Daher Socata TBM 900 Turboprops Delivered In 2015 Daher Socata has announced their delivery numbers for the past year (2015) and it turns out they handed over 55 TBM900 turboprops. The TBM900 is their newest iteration of the TBM family. If you look back to the previous year (2014), the 2015 figures represented a 10 percent increase in deliveries according to the manufacturer. They also say that it has been the second-best performance in deliveries since 1991. As we know, aircraft tend to be shipped to all parts of the globe but let's see where the majority of these 55 aircraft found home-base.
United States came up tops in representing the highest percentage of the 55 aircraft delivered with 44 being handed over to customers all over the mainland. That only leaves 11 aircraft that were handed over to clients in countries around the world. Latin America has the second highest yield with 7 aircraft, 5 of which were delivered to Brazil and 2 to Mexico. Over in Europe, they had two sent to Germany, and one each in France and Spain. “Last year’s TBM 900 results clearly confirm the continued value of our very fast turboprop, backed by services that definitely meet our customers’ expectations,” explained Nicolas Chabbert, the Senior Vice President of Daher’s Airplane Business Unit. “Adding to this is the continued enthusiasm from a global community of dedicated TBM owners and operators – our best supporters of the TBM.” For more information: SOCATA North America, Inc.
