Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, October 9, 2017: Daher is exhibiting a Model Year 2017 version of the TBM 930 at this week’s NBAA Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition, with the very fast aircraft also representing the TBM family’s growing use in commercial flights.
NBAA’s annual U.S. event – which brings together the business aviation community, and is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada – provides an excellent forum for Daher to highlight the TBM’s role as a fast, efficient corporate and charter aircraft. In addition to the TBM’s established presence in U.S. charter operations, the European approval this year of commercial flights with pressurized single-engine turboprop aircraft opens up additional opportunities for the TBM family.
“In the two years since we began promoting TBM-series aircraft for charter and for-hire applications, commercial operators’ interest in single-engine turboprops has steadily risen,” commented Nicolas Chabbert, Senior Vice President of the Daher Airplane Business Unit. “Today, commercial flights represent a growing share of such aircraft movements when compared to light jets. We believed this is linked to the excellent performance-to-cost ratio of the single-engine turboprop aircraft and its increasing acceptance by the public.”
