G800 Is Certified, G700s Are Everywhere—What Should G650 Owners Do?

Strapline: The data‑driven case for staying put, refitting, or moving up in 2025.

Intro:
Gulfstream’s G800 has cleared certification and the G700 fleet is now sizeable. Meanwhile, the G650 line has ended. Here’s how performance, maintenance, cabin, and residuals stack up—and which move makes sense for your mission profile.

Quick Specs & Missions

• Real‑world range comparisons at Mach .85/.90.

• Cabin altitude, window count, layout flexibility, baggage.

Operating Cost & Maintenance Outlook

• Engine programs, MSG‑3 intervals, “new‑tech premium” vs. mature‑fleet efficiency.

• Avionics, connectivity, cabin systems—retrofit options for G650 owners.

Residual Value & Market Liquidity

• Recent resale comps; how G700/G800 deliveries shift G650 pricing.

• What buyers are paying a premium for in 2025.

Decision Tree: Keep, Refit, or Upgrade

• If you fly mostly 3–5 hour legs…

• If you need consistent 6,000+ nm with a big cabin…

• If cabin experience trumps raw speed…
