Change at the Top as Daher Pushes for the Big Time
TBM 900 manufacturer Daher’s priority is to increase its footprint in the key U.S. market.
Daher brings its TBM 900 turboprop single to Paris for its show debut. It replaced the TBM 850 last year.

Since surprising the industry by dropping the Socata name, Daher has embarked on a restructuring aimed at expanding the French group’s aviation business. For the first time in Daher’s history, the company will not be led by a member of the Daher family, which will continue to control 80 percent of its equity. Current executive vice president David Kayat is in the process of taking over from CEO Patrick Daher over the next two years.
