G650 Fleet Enters 144-Month Deep Inspection Window in Concentrated Wave; Independent MROs Compete for Large-Cabin Business Jet Maintenance Share
●Duncan◆Falcon (series)●StandardAero
Analysis
Duncan Aviation recently completed two G650s' 144-month (12-year) deep inspection — this type's highest-level periodic maintenance. G650 started delivery in 2012; first batch aircraft concentrated at 12-year inspection node in 2024–2026, forming notable MRO demand wave. Duncan Aviation in same period also completed first Falcon 8X inspection and PW308 engine training; StandardAero KAGS facility also expanded in 2026 and first included Gulfstream types. Independent MROs are accelerating penetration into ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet maintenance — forming competition with Gulfstream official service centres. Pre-owned market G650 extremely scarce; owners have strong motivation to maintain residual value through deep inspection. Confidence ★★ (multi-source independent news cross-verification).
