Daher Aircraft expands its authorized service center network and distributor organization for the Kodiak airplane family

Daher Aircraft announced the expansion of the customer support and sales infrastructure for its Kodiak airplane family, adding three authorized Network service center locations in the United States and Asia, as well as two distributors in these regions. For Kodiak customer support, two of the new Network service station locations are at Blackhawk Group facilities in Camarillo, California (KCMA) and Glendale, Arizona (KGEU). These sites join the Blackhawk Group’s previously-approved Kodiak service center in Wasilla, Alaska (KWWA) operated by Silver Sky, whose acquisition by the Blackhawk Group was announced in January 2026.
 
Blackhawk Group’s geographic coverage area extends across the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. The company has a long-established relationship with Daher Aircraft, having served since 2000 as a key member of the approved TBM customer support Network and distributor system.   
 
Daher Aircraft’s other Network service center addition is Bangkok-based Thai Aviation Industries, which will handle maintenance as well as parts distribution from its facility at Photharam Airport (VTPR). Founded in 2013, Thai Aviation Industries has become a major services provider in Asia, which is a region where the Kodiak's rugged design, performance and versatility are well suited for both civil and government customers. 
 
Daher Aircraft CEO Nicolas Chabbert said these additional Network service stations further strengthen the overall reach of maintenance, warranty support and parts availability for Kodiak operators: "As the worldwide Kodiak fleet continues to grow, Daher Aircraft is developing an ever-stronger customer support Network that is closer to where these aircraft are based and operated," Chabbert added. “This reflects our long-term strategy of supporting Kodiak customers throughout their entire ownership experience, which also is fully aligned with our commitment to the TBM product line."  
 
Today, Daher Aircraft’s customer support Network consists of 70 authorized service centers worldwide – with an increasing number of them approved to support and maintain both the Kodiak and TBM. For Daher Aircraft’s expanded global distribution footprint, one of the latest distributor appointments is Thai Aviation Industries, which will take delivery of a Kodiak 100 later this year as part of its new relationship with Daher Aircraft.
 
The other new Kodiak distributorship agreement involves Muncie Aviation in the U.S., which also builds on a long-term partnership with Daher Aircraft – as this company has been an authorized TBM distributor and Network service station since 2002. Based at Delaware County Regional Airport (KMIE) in Muncie, Indiana, the employee-owned operation’s regional coverage for Daher Aircraft extends across six states: Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan Ohio and Wisconsin.
 
Also joining Daher Aircraft’s distributor organization and customer support Network in 2026 is Columbia Aircraft Sales and Columbia Air Services, as announced earlier this year.
 
Daher Aircraft’s Kodiak airplane family is composed of two “go anywhere” utility aircraft: the Kodiak 100 and Kodiak 900, which are manufactured and assembled in the U.S. at Sandpoint, Idaho. After acquiring the Kodiak product line in 2019, Daher Aircraft has invested in the Sandpoint production facility, as well as in product enhancements. The company launched the enhanced Kodiak 100 Series III version in 2021, followed by its unveiling of the longer-fuselage, faster Kodiak 900 in 2022.
