Daher today congratulated Flying Smart on the opening of its new operations base at London Biggin Hill Airport in the United Kingdom, which will serve the company's role as a recently appointed authorized distributor for Daher's TBM family of very fast turboprop aircraft.

The facility's inauguration was held in conjunction with the Business and General Aviation Day (BGAD) event held at London Biggin Hill Airport on 15th September.

Flying Smart, a partner of the FlyingGroup, an Antwerp-based leading European business aviation operator, has been designated as Daher's TBM authorized distributor for the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Managed by David Fabry, a TBM pilot and owner, Flying Smart offers its clients the FlyingGroup's capabilities in all aspects of aircraft ownership and travel needs, along with its own expertise in TBM operations.

"We congratulate David on the opening of Flying Smart's new headquarters, which will be the TBM sales and demonstration center in the British Isles," said Nicolas Chabbert, senior vice-president of Daher's airplane business unit. “We will follow David's development with interest, as he is going to introduce new types of services that ultimately could be extended across our network.”

Fabry said the BGAD event at London Biggin Hill Airport enabled the UK business and general aviation sector to learn more about TBM aircraft, and hear initial details of Flying Smart's services, with more information on its expansion plans to be disclosed in the coming months.

“We thank Daher for its support, and we look forward to evolving our business through the host of services we will offer to our customers,” Fabry added.
