Daher Aircraft’s TBM 980 has racked up orders extending to mid-2027 and has surpassed 30 deliveries in the six months since its introduction in January, the company said today at EAA AirVenture. Daher is targeting more than 60 deliveries of the type this year, which would mark an annual production record for TBM models. More than half of TBM 980 customers are repeat buyers.

The preowned market for 900-series TBMs reflects similar high demand. Just three TBM 960s are on the market out of a total production run of 218, and only four of the 124 TBM 940s built are currently for sale, with both variants retaining value near their original prices, according to Daher.
