The Daher TBM 900 is one of the fastest single-engine turboprops available for Mexico travel, cruising at 330 knots at altitudes that allow it to route above most of Mexico’s regional weather on domestic and short transborder sectors. Its speed bridges the gap between the standard King Air series and light jets on Mexico routes up to about 800 nautical miles.
The TBM 900 entered service in 2014, powered by a single Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-66D engine with a four-blade Hartzell propeller. It seats 5 to 6 passengers, cruises at 330 knots, and has a ceiling of 31,000 feet with a range of 1,730 nautical miles. Every Daher TBM 900 we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Daher TBM 900 Fits Mexico
For Mexico domestic routes with small executive groups, the TBM 900’s 330-knot cruise makes it noticeably faster than King Air variants on sectors of 300 to 800 nautical miles. Monterrey to Mexico City, Guadalajara to Los Cabos, and Cancun to Merida are all covered efficiently in the TBM 900.
The 31,000-foot ceiling allows the TBM 900 to route above much of Mexico’s regional weather, particularly the afternoon convective activity that builds over the Sierra Madre and Gulf of Mexico coasts in summer. This weather routing capability distinguishes it from lower-ceiling turboprops in the charter fleet.
For US-to-Mexico short transborder trips, the TBM 900 covers Texas departure points to Monterrey, Chihuahua, and the northern Mexico industrial cities efficiently. Its single-engine operating economics make it one of the most cost-effective options for two to four passengers on these routes.
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.
