Charter a TBM 850 Turboprop

Charter of a Daher TBM 850 starts at $1,600–$2,200 per flight hour. Manufactured from 2006 to 2014, the TBM 850 was the fastest single-engine turboprop in the world at the time. It seats up to five passengers with a published range of 1,730 nautical miles and a 320-knot cruise speed. A single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D engine powers this aircraft. Hogani Jets coordinates each TBM 850 charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

The TBM 850 updated the TBM 700 with a more powerful engine, not a new airframe. Daher rated that engine at 850 shaft horsepower, but limited it to 700 horsepower during takeoff and landing. The full power only becomes available once the aircraft reaches cruise altitude.
That single change pushed cruise speed to 320 knots, faster than any other single-engine turboprop when it launched. About 338 were built before the TBM 900 succeeded it in 2014.

Daher built the TBM 850 from 2006 to 2014, on the same airframe as the TBM 700 it replaced. A single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D engine and a 320-knot cruise speed define this generation.

Daher's published maximum range of 1,730 nautical miles assumes long-range cruise settings and a light payload. With a fuller passenger and baggage load, typical charter range runs closer to 1,400 to 1,585 nautical miles. This is worth confirming for any route near the edge of the aircraft's stated range.

Daher updated the TBM 850 partway through its production run. From 2008 onward, the aircraft shipped with Garmin G1000 avionics as standard, replacing the earlier Bendix/King instruments. The same update added a fuel tank extension.
Daher also introduced the TBM 850 Elite that year. It swapped the standard rear bench for four forward-facing seats and added cargo space. Confirm which configuration a specific aircraft carries at booking.

A turboprop trades cabin size for a lower hourly rate. The TBM 850 narrows the speed gap more than most. At $1,600–$2,200 per hour, it costs well below a light jet such as the Citation CJ3. It cruises fast enough that trip time often stays close.

Lower cost: $1,300 to $2,500 per hour versus $2,300 to $3,800 for a light jet.
Closer cruise speed: 320 knots versus 480 knots or faster for a light jet, a smaller gap than most.
Fewer seats: up to 5 passengers versus 5 to 9 for most light jets.
Best mission: fast regional trips for 2 to 5 passengers where cost matters as much as speed.

The TBM 850 seats up to five passengers with a single pilot, typically a four-seat club section plus the right-hand cockpit seat.

Individual climate control and a folding executive table are standard on most charter-configured aircraft.
Leather seating, power outlets, and satellite music are common amenities.
Baggage is stored in a rear internal compartment, with additional external storage on many aircraft.
There is no flight attendant on this aircraft category; confirm service expectations at booking.

The TBM 850 performs best on fast regional routes. Its cruise speed narrows the gap with a light jet while keeping the hourly rate well below one.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the TBM 700, its predecessor, and the Piper M600/SLS. The M600/SLS is a similarly sized single with Garmin Autoland. The 850 wins on cruise speed over the 700; the M600/SLS wins on emergency-landing capability.

Every TBM 850 charter operator's Part 135 certificates, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking.

The TBM 850 is certified for single-pilot operation. On 2008 and later units, it carries Garmin G1000 avionics with terrain awareness and traffic alerting.

Hogani Jets does not operate the aircraft. Every charter is conducted by a licensed Part 135 direct air carrier under that carrier's independent operational control.

The TBM 850 is a strong fit on fast regional legs. Its cruise speed narrows the gap with a light jet while keeping cost well below one. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most relevant charter corridors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Daher TBM 850 charter rates run $1,600–$2,200 per flight hour. One-way trip pricing ranges from about $4,500 for short international hops to $10,300 or more on longer regional legs. Final cost depends on route, positioning, and season.

Daher publishes a maximum range of 1,730 nautical miles, reached under long-range cruise with a light payload. With a fuller passenger and baggage load, typical charter range runs closer to 1,400 to 1,585 nautical miles.

The 850 uses the same airframe as the 700, re-engined with a more powerful Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66D. That engine is rated at 850 shaft horsepower, limited to 700 during takeoff and landing. The extra power comes online only at cruise altitude.

The TBM 850 seats up to 5 passengers with a single pilot, typically a four-seat club section plus the right-hand cockpit seat.

The TBM 850 cruises at up to 320 knots true airspeed (368 mph). That made it the fastest single-engine turboprop in the world when it launched in 2006.

Daher added Garmin G1000 avionics as standard, replacing earlier Bendix/King instruments, along with a fuel tank extension. The same year introduced the TBM 850 Elite, with four forward-facing seats and more cargo room.

Single-engine turboprops like the TBM 850 operate under the same Part 135 oversight as any charter aircraft. The PT6A engine family has one of the strongest reliability records in aviation. The trade-off against a twin-engine aircraft is redundancy in the event of an engine issue.

Yes. The TBM 850's frequent regional positioning creates empty-leg opportunities at meaningful savings off standard one-way rates. Availability is short-notice and date-fixed, so Hogani Jets recommends flexibility when chasing empty-leg pricing.

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All TBM 850 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, holding full operational and regulatory control.
