Daher delivered a total of 55 TBM 900s last year, a 10 per cent increase on 2014. It marks the second most successful year for the manufacturer since the first TBM single-engine turboprop aircraft was introduced in 1991.

Though the US and Latin America led the way, four aircraft were delivered in Europe, including two in Germany and one each in France and Spain.

This year is expected to be a challenging one for the international aircraft marketplace, but senior VP Nicolas Chabbert says that he will be heavily promoting the advantages of his product into 2016. “It is a dependable aircraft and we have a highly motivated and dedicated team. We also have a network of enthusiastic and professional distributors and solid backing by our parent company, the Daher group,” he adds.
