Daher extends its Kodiak aircraft sales network for Asia with representatives in Indonesia and the Indian subcontinent
Sandpoint, Idaho, USA, May 12, 2020 â Daher today announced the appointment of two Kodiak aircraft sales representatives for Asia:
PT Auvia Gaya Perkasa in Indonesia; and JetHQ providing coverage across the Indian subcontinent.
Based in Jakarta, PT Auvia Gaya Perkasa is a consulting company created in 1996 to focus on military aviation as an aircraft parts
supplier for the Indonesian Air Force. It expanded into aircraft maintenance and communication systems integration through
relationships with many aircraft and equipment manufacturers, as well as with maintenance, repair and overhaul partners in serving
the Indonesian Air Force, Army and Navy.
âThe Kodiak aircraft is perfectly suited for operations in Indonesia, where public and governmental missions are crucial,â
explained Paul G. Branham, the Kodiak Sales Director for Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. âPT Auvia Gaya Perkasa is well
positioned to sell Kodiak aircraft in the region based on this companyâs two decades of success and its strong interactions with
many government officials and branches.â
JetHQ is a worldwide aircraft broker tasked to promote the Kodiak throughout the Indian subcontinent region, including India,
Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Pakistan. It recently added team members who have been involved in Indian business
aviation for 30 years, and the company has successfully worked with Indiaâs DGCA civil aviation authority to update and change
laws that will improve the development of business aviation in the country.
âFor the Indian subcontinent market, the Kodiak offers a highly capable aircraft for transportation in serving regional
communities,â added Branham. âIts performance, versatility and operational flexibility also make the Kodiak ideal for special
mission operations in service with both commercial and government customers.â

October 13, 2025, Las Vegas Nevada/NBAA-BACE â Daher Aircraft has flown its âgo anywhereâ Kodiak multi-role airplane into some of the most remote and challenging backcountry airstrips across the Pacific Northwest while delivering critical support for the U.S. Forest Service as part of a collaborative effort with the Recreational Aviation Foundation. Â The airlift utilized a Daher Aircraft-owned Kodiak 100 to transport equipment along with two U.S. Forest Service (USFS) contractor engineers and three Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) volunteers during flights to a total of seven locations across Idaho. Â Staged out of the historic Moose Creek Ranger Station airstrip (1U1), these missions involved 14 landings at backcountry locations that serve as critical access points for the USFS in firefighting, forest health monitoring, search & rescue, and recreational oversight. Â âOur Kodiak aircraft family is uniquely designed to meet the rigorous demands of such deployments, bringing short takeoff and landing performance, robust cargo capacity and excellent low-speed handling qualities together with rugged reliability,â said Daher CEO Nicolas Chabbert while speaking to journalists today at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Â According to Chabbert, this latest collaboration with the Recreational Aviation Foundation is the eighth such joint effort during the past four years, underscoring Daher Aircraftâs dedication to supporting backcountry aviation in the United States. Â The Kodiakâs large and easily reconfigurable cabin played an important role in the missionâs success, with its passenger seats removed and reinstalled as necessary when carrying the USFS contract engineers and RAF volunteers, along with a total of 12 firepits sourced by the Forest Service â each weighing approximately 80 pounds. Â The four-day deployment involved airstrip surveys, surface condition assessments and deliveries of the fire pits with flights performed from the Moose Creek field base to Cayuse Creek (C64), Dixie (A05), Fish Lake (S92), Magee (S77), Orogrande (75C) and Wilson Bar (C48). Â âWe flew to extremely remote locations where high elevations, short field lengths and blind approaches require an airplane that guarantees both performance and flexibility,â explained Paul Carelli, Daher Aircraftâs Senior Director of Multi-Mission Aircraft and Business Development for the Americas. âThe Kodiakâs short takeoff and landing capabilities, slow approach speeds, and the designed-in resistance to stalls and spins make it ideal for these missions.â Â Carelli added that the Kodiak 100 â along with Daherâs larger, faster Kodiak 900 â are perfectly suited for such challenging airfields (several of which are labeled on the navigation charts as âhazardousâ), even when the aircraft are fully loaded with personnel and equipment. Â âThese 10-seat turboprop-powered airplanes are in the 7,000-8,000-lb. maximum takeoff weight categories, and they handle such 1,500-foot airstrips as Wilson Bar with no problem,â he noted. âThe Kodiak 100 and Kodiak 900 carry much higher payloads into the backcountry than smaller aircraft, and there are no others in their category that can match them.â Â In citing an example of the challenging operating conditions faced during the recent deployment, Carelli said the Fish Lake airstrip has a posted sign warning that five aircraft have crashed into the lake in past takeoff accidents.

Kodiak 100 Showcases Stellar STOL Skills in USFS Airlift
Daher Aircraft's Kodiak 100 plane demonstrated its exceptional STOL capabilities during a collaborative airlift operation with the U.S. Forest Service and the Recreational Aviation Foundation. Over four days, the Kodiak transported equipment, engineers, and volunteers across several remote Idaho airstrips, including the challenging Wilson Bar and Fish Lake sites. Known for its high payload capacity and reliability, the Kodiak proved indispensable for critical USFS missions such as firefighting and rescue. This successful deployment underscores Daher's commitment to supporting backcountry aviation, with robust performance in demanding conditions.
