Daher is expanding the sales reach for the Kodiak utility turboprop single in Asia with the appointment of two representatives—PT Auvia Gaya Perkasa in Indonesia and JetHQ for the Indian subcontinent. The appointment of Jakarta-based PT Auvia Gaya Perkasa will provide a foothold for the aircraft in the regional market for public and government missions, Daher said.

“The Kodiak aircraft is perfectly suited for operations in Indonesia, where public and governmental missions are crucial,” said Paul Branham, Kodiak sales director for Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. “PT Auvia Gaya Perkasa is well positioned to sell Kodiak aircraft in the region based on this company’s two decades of success and its strong interactions with many government officials and branches.”

Established in 1996 originally as an aircraft supplier for the Indonesian Air Force, PT Auvia Gaya Perkasa has expanded into aircraft maintenance and other services, building relationships with OEMs, MRO partners, and the Indonesian armed forces.

International broker JetHQ, meanwhile, will represent the Kodiak in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Pakistan. The appointment comes as JetHQ recently bolstered its expertise in the region, bringing on board people who have been involved in Indian business aviation for 30 years.

“For the Indian subcontinent market, the Kodiak offers a highly capable aircraft for transportation in serving regional communities,” said Branham.
