Nicolas Chabbert, CEO of the newly combined Daher and Kodiak Aircraft companies, took a moment to speak with Aero-News Editor-in-Chief Jim Campbell about recent changes while at the 2021 NBAA convention. Daher has continually updated their offerings, like the TBM series’ newly added HomeSafe, an emergency autoland system that brings a safety enhancement for operators of private, single-piloted aircraft.
Kodiak saw its 300th aircraft delivered, as well as the introduction of a Series 3 update. Chabbert emphasized the approach Daher takes to its design as different from the norm. Their clientele brings certain expectations of excellence and smart design, often derived from their high-end automotive experiences. The usual run of the mill light aircraft cabin experience wouldn’t be enough, Chabbert intimates. Daher notes that it sets itself apart with a premium experience in every facet of ownership: a safe, reliable aircraft and levels of fit and finish a cut above the rest.
