Daher Aircraft has strengthened its customer support coverage for Brazilian owners and operators of the TBM family with the addition of two authorised service centres to the company's network in the country.

Announced during this week's LABACE in São Paulo, the appointments of Up Aviation and Aeromecanica broaden thenNetwork's geographic coverage and provide enhanced factory-authorised maintenance capabilities across Brazil.

Up Aviation becomes an authorised Daher Aircraft service centre at Belo Horizonte's Pampulha-Carlos Drummond de Andrade airport in Minas Gerais, supporting customers throughout the southeast region of Brazil and the surrounding areas. Already providing maintenance for many of the country's TBM operators, Up Aviation now brings its established capabilities with full factory authorisation.

Aeromecanica has joined the Daher Aircraft authorised service centre network, operating from Bacacheri airport in Curitiba and Antonio Amilton Beraldo airport in Ponta Grossa, Paraná, providing coverage for southern Brazil.

These additions complement Daher Aircraft's existing authorised network service centres in Brazil: America do Sul, located at Sorocaba in São Paulo state and serving the country's southeastern region, and Voar Aviation at Uberlândia airport in Minas Gerais, serving central Brazil.

Together, these four authorised service providers establish a strategically distributed network across southeastern, southern and central Brazil, providing nationwide support for the country's growing TBM fleet, which currently comprises approximately 60 aircraft.

“The expanded authorised service centre network underscores Daher Aircraft's long-term commitment to support our owners and operators in Brazil,” shares Paulo C. Olenscki, executive director of the Daher Aircraft Brasil entity. “By reinforcing our factory-authorised service capabilities across the country, we are facilitating broader access to the technical expertise and responsive support they expect throughout the ownership experience.”

To further strengthen its support for Brazilian customers, Daher Aircraft's company-owned network service centre in Pompano Beach, Florida, has initiated the process to be certified by Brazil's national civil aviation authority, ANAC. This certification will enable the facility to perform maintenance on Brazilian-registered TBM and Kodiak aircraft without requiring additional administrative procedures.

The authorisation will benefit the Brazilian owners and operators who travel throughout North America or transit the region, including on flights to and from Europe, taking advantage of the TBM's long range, fast cruise speeds and operating efficiency.

Brazil is a key focus of Daher Aircraft's international growth strategy, where the fleet of TBMs, numbering approximately 60 today and growing, underlines the country's demand for high-performance turboprop aircraft.

Daher Aircraft's product portfolio is particularly well suited to Brazil's diverse operating environment. Its TBM 980 and TBM 960 combine jet-class speed with turboprop efficiency for business aviation missions across the country's vast geography, while the Kodiak 100 Series III and Kodiak 900 provide exceptional versatility for utility, multi-mission and regional transportation operations from both paved and unimproved airfields.
