Daher showcased its new TBM 980 at the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo, marking the aircraft’s U.S. debut.
The TBM 980, the latest evolution of Daher’s high-performance single-engine turboprop family, introduces notable upgrades in both avionics and cabin comfort. At its core is Garmin’s G3000 PRIME flight deck, which delivers faster processing, refined ergonomics, and a more intuitive touchscreen interface for pilots.
Beyond the cockpit, the aircraft features updated cabin amenities including USB-C power, enhanced passenger displays, and optional Starlink connectivity—underscoring Daher’s continued focus on connectivity and the overall passenger experience.
Originally unveiled earlier this year, the TBM 980 is the newest addition to the TBM 900-series and marks the sixth variant introduced since Daher acquired the program in 2014.
Daher also used the event to highlight its broader product lineup, including the Kodiak series, while emphasizing its expanding presence in the U.S. market.
