Charter a TBM 960 Turboprop

The Daher TBM 960 entered service in 2022 as the flagship of Daher's TBM family of high-performance single-engine turboprops, built on the proven TBM 700 and 900 airframe. It introduced a fully digital engine and propeller control system around the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-66XT engine, paired with the Garmin G3000 touchscreen flight deck and a refined Prestige cabin. The result is the fastest single-engine turboprop in charter service, with jet-like cruise speed at a fraction of a jet's operating cost, and short-field access to smaller airports.

The TBM 960 is a turboprop, not a jet, which is the key to its value. A turboprop uses a propeller driven by a turbine engine, far more fuel-efficient at lower altitudes and shorter distances than a jet. The TBM 960 narrows the speed gap more than any other turboprop, cruising at 330 ktas, close to a light jet, while costing far less per hour to operate.

• Lower cost: at $1,800–$2,500 per hour, the TBM 960 runs well below the $2,300 to $3,800 of a light jet.
• Near-jet speed: at 330 ktas it is the fastest single-engine turboprop, closing much of the speed gap to light jets on regional trips.
• Short-field access: it operates from runways as short as about 2,350 feet, reaching smaller airports.
• Best mission: fast, efficient regional trips for up to four or five passengers where cost matters but speed still counts.

The TBM 960 has a compact but refined Prestige cabin, seating up to 5 passengers in a club-style layout focused on comfort for smaller groups. While smaller than a PC-12 or King Air, it is one of the most modern and well-appointed turboprop cabins available.

• The club-style cabin seats up to 5 passengers, with four to five typical, in ergonomic seats developed with a focus on long-trip comfort.
• Electrically heated seats, electrically dimmable windows, ambient LED lighting, and cupholders are part of the Prestige cabin.
• Baggage is split between an aft compartment and a nose compartment, handling roll-aboards and soft bags for the group.
• Dual-glazed windows keep cruise noise low. The cabin is best suited to smaller groups on regional trips. Confirm amenities at booking.

Baggage note for the Daher TBM 960: With aft and nose compartments, the TBM 960 handles standard luggage for four to five passengers. For larger groups or more baggage, the Pilatus PC-12 or a King Air is the step up.

The TBM 960 performs well on fast, efficient regional routes for smaller groups within its 1,730nm range. These represent its most common charter missions.
