Daher Aircraft has strengthened its customer support coverage for Brazilian owners and operators of the fast, efficient TBM airplane family with the addition of two authorized service centers to the company’s Network in the country. Announced during LABACE in São Paulo, the appointments of UP Aviation and Aeromecânica broaden the Network's geographic coverage and provide enhanced factory-authorized maintenance capabilities across Brazil.
Paulo C. Olenscki, Executive Director of the Daher Aircraft Brasil entity commented: "The expanded authorized service center Network underscores Daher Aircraft’s long-term commitment to support our owners and operators in Brazil. By reinforcing our factory-authorized service capabilities across the country, we are facilitating broader access to the technical expertise and responsive support they expect throughout the ownership experience."
UP Aviation becomes an authorized Daher Aircraft service center at Belo Horizonte’s Pampulha-Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport (ICAO code: SBBH) in Minas Gerais, supporting customers throughout the Southeast region of Brazil and the surrounding areas. Already providing maintenance for many of the country's TBM operators, UP Aviation now brings its established capabilities with full factory authorization.
Aeromecânica has joined the Daher Aircraft authorized service center Network, operating from Bacacheri Airport (SBBI) in Curitiba and Antonio Amilton Beraldo Airport (SBPG) in Ponta Grossa, Paraná, providing coverage for southern Brazil.
These additions complement Daher Aircraft's existing authorized Network service centers in Brazil: America do Sul, located at Sorocaba Airport (SDCO) in São Paulo state and serving the country’s southeastern region; and Voar Aviation at Uberlândia Airport (SBUL) in Minas Gerais, serving central Brazil.
Together, these four authorized service providers establish a strategically distributed Network across southeastern, southern and central Brazil, providing nationwide support for the country's growing TBM fleet, which currently comprises approximately 60 aircraft.
To further strengthen its support for Brazilian customers, Daher Aircraft's company-owned Network service center in Pompano Beach, Florida, has initiated the process to be certified by ANAC. This certification will enable the facility to perform maintenance on Brazilian-registered TBM and Kodiak airplanes without requiring additional administrative procedures.
The authorization will benefit the Brazilian owners and operators who travel throughout North America or transit the region – including on flights to and from Europe – taking advantage of the TBM's long range, fast cruise speeds and operating efficiency. Brazil is a key focus of Daher Aircraft's international growth strategy, where the fleet of TBM airplanes – numbering approximately 60 today, and growing – underlines the country’s demand for high-performance turboprop aircraft.
Daher Aircraft's product portfolio is particularly well suited to Brazil's diverse operating environment. Its TBM 980 and TBM 960 combine jet-class speed with turboprop efficiency for business aviation missions across the country's vast geography, while the Kodiak 100 Series III and Kodiak 900 provide exceptional versatility for utility, multi-mission and regional transportation operations from both paved and unimproved airfields.
