Bahamas clients book turboprops for the legs a jet cannot sensibly fly: short sectors into small island airfields where pavement is limited. The Daher TBM 900 is a practical fit for a small party crossing to the islands together.
Daher introduced the Daher TBM 900 in 2014. The lavatory is belted rather than fully enclosed, which is worth knowing before booking a long leg on it. 5 passengers plus pilot typical, 6 in high-density. Every Daher TBM 900 we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Daher TBM 900 Fits the Bahamas
Bahamas clients use it into airfields with limited pavement, where the alternative is landing at Nassau and taking a boat.
Working from the published 1,730 nautical miles and leaving margin for wind and reserves, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Punta Cana are reachable nonstop from Nassau. How much you are carrying and what the winds are doing will move that, which the operator calculates per trip.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
