Daher Targets August 2027 for First Florida-Assembled TBM

Daher expects to complete its first TBM at its Stuart, Florida, final assembly facility around August 2027. The company expects to begin operating the site in 2027, with hiring underway and staff training at its Tarbes, France, facility.

Little Hawk Logistics’ TBM fleet has reportedly served more than 500 U.S. airports since 2014.

What has been confirmed

These dates and plans are reported expectations, not officially confirmed milestones in the supplied fact set. Daher’s planned Florida operation would supplement its TBM assembly line in Tarbes and Kodiak production facility in Sandpoint, Idaho. The company plans a gradual production ramp tied to market demand and intends eventually to assemble Kodiak aircraft in Stuart; no start date for Kodiak assembly is stated.

Why it matters

A Florida assembly site would give Daher another location for aircraft production in the United States, complementing its Idaho Kodiak facility and its French TBM line. The planned gradual ramp means production levels would respond to market demand rather than follow a stated fixed output schedule.

FlyMarshall context

Aircraft assembly depends on skilled production teams and coordinated training. Daher is training Stuart staff at Tarbes as it prepares the Florida operation. Separately, the source reports that Little Hawk Logistics added a TBM 910 based at Scottsdale Airport, with charter flights operated by 45 North Flight. The source attributes more than 8,000 flight hours, over 7,000 passengers, and service to more than 500 U.S. airports since 2014 to Little Hawk’s TBM fleet; these figures are reported, not independently confirmed in the supplied fact set.

What happens next

Daher expects Stuart operations to begin in 2027 and its first Florida-assembled TBM around August of that year. The company has not stated when Kodiak assembly could begin at the site.
