Daher will mark an important milestone for its aircraft family with the Paris Air Show delivery of the 600th TBM 900-series airplane

Paris Air Show, Le Bourget, France / June 17, 2025

Daher will be highlighting the company’s turboprop-powered TBM and Kodiak aircraft product lines during this month’s Paris Air Show, as well as reaching a new milestone with its delivery of the 600th airplane from the TBM 900 series.

Delivery of this landmark TBM 900-series aircraft – which is a TBM 960 version – will be made on Daher Aircraft’s exhibit at Le Bourget Airport on Thursday, June 19. The airplane will be received by a U.S.-based customer who is a repeat TBM buyer, currently flying a TBM 940 and having previously owned a TBM 930.

The TBM 900-series is the best-seller in the TBM family’s history, and underscores the continual improvement applied to this product line of fast and efficient airplanes. To date, more than 1,260 TBMs have been delivered in the six variants produced since the airplane’s service entry in 1990: the TBM 960, TBM 940, TBM 900, TBM 910, TBM 850 and TBM 700.

At the Paris Air Show, the milestone TBM 960 will be joined on Daher Aircraft’s static display by a Kodiak 100 – the cornerstone version of the company’s “go-anywhere” Kodiak utility and multi-mission airplanes. In addition to continued production of Kodiak 100s in the latest Series III version, Daher has added the larger, faster Kodiak 900 to the product line.

Also spotlighted at Le Bourget during next week’s Paris Air Show will be the EcoPulse distributed propulsion hybrid aircraft demonstrator, which is based on a TBM airplane platform and was developed by Daher, Safran and Airbus with the support of France’s CORAC civil aviation research council. Exhibited at the entrance to the Paris Air Lab at Le Bourget Airport, EcoPulse is one of the French aeronautics industry’s major collaborative projects, and contributes to the decarbonization objectives that the air transportation sector has targeted to achieve by 2050.
