Columbia Air Services
The Columbia corporate name has an interesting and colorful connection with the early history of Connecticut and transportation. “Columbia” was the name of a 19th century tall ship captained by John Rathbone of Mystic, Connecticut. The 1051-ton vessel was representative of a class of sleek, fast sailing ships known as Packets. These ships enabled the United States to capture a major share of the growing transatlantic passenger traffic. Owners Arthur Maurice and Barbara Silver have preserved these roots in the company’s name. Columbia combines the tradition and excellence of the past with the innovation and technology of the present, to create a new standard in transportation for the future.
Daher
As an aircraft manufacturer, industrialist, industrial service provider and logistician, Daher
achieved a revenue of 1.3 billion euros in 2022. Backed by its family shareholding, Daher
has been focused on innovation since its creation in 1863. With more than 10,500 employees
and offices in 13 countries, mainly in Europe and North America, Daher designs and
develops value-added solutions for its aeronautical and industrial customers and partners.
Daher manufactures two families of single-engine turboprop airplanes: the Kodiak utility
aircraft in Sandpoint, Idaho, USA, and the very efficient pressurized TBM in Tarbes, France.
The Kodiak 100 Series III is an unpressurized 8-10-seat airplane equipped with Garmin’s
G1000 NXi avionics, capable of operating on uneven and unimproved runways, or on water
in the amphibious version. Its unique combination of robust construction and remarkable
3,530 lb. useful load has resulted in many additional applications for the Kodiak, including
special missions, medevac, as a skydiving platform and more.
Daher introduced the larger Kodiak 900 version in 2022, featuring a fuselage length
extension of 3.9 feet for more passenger room and cargo space, a cruise speed increase to
210 KTAS, and a greater useful load while offering a maximum range of 1,129 nm.
Current TBM models in production are the TBM 910, equipped with Garmin’s G1000 NXi
avionics system, controlled by a keypad; and the TBM 960, featuring Pratt & Whitney
Canada’s PT6E-66XT engine and a dual-channel digital Engine and Propeller Electronic
Control System (EPECS), an autothrottle, Garmin’s G3000 avionics with touchscreen
controller, and the HomeSafe™ emergency autoland system. Both models offer increased
automation and superior performance.
As of April 15, 2023, a total of 325 Kodiak and 1,139 TBM aircraft had been delivered to
international owners and operators, with the global fleet accumulating some 2.5 million flight
hours.
