The Falcon 900 has long been recognized for its durability, range and comfort, and many operators continue to fly these aircraft thanks to their capable airframes and efficient operating profile. As the platform matures, owners are increasingly turning to Duncan Aviation to refresh, modernize and elevate their cabins and avionics. Through projects on both the Falcon 900EX and Falcon 900B, Duncan Aviation has demonstrated an ability to breathe new life into these aircraft with thoughtful design, advanced technology and a refined sense of craftsmanship.
A Modern Approach to a Proven Airframe
The longevity of the Falcon 900 series creates a unique opportunity. Instead of moving into a different platform, many owners prefer to keep the familiar handling, performance and reliability of the Falcon while elevating the interior and systems to standards expected in newer business jets. Duncan Aviation has become a preferred partner for these upgrades thanks to its in-house engineering, design and avionics capabilities that allow major refurbishment work to be completed under one roof.

Recent Falcon 900EX refurbishment work at Duncan Aviation highlights the company’s ability to modernize existing interiors without compromising the aircraft’s original aesthetic. One project involved updating the cabin while preserving the rich, warm veneer that defined the aircraft’s character. Updated soft goods, reimagined seating details and fresh carpet design introduced a more contemporary feel, creating an inviting cabin that still paid respect to its heritage.
In the same program, a thoughtful reconfiguration replaced the forward lavatory with a full height storage and closet area. This modification aligned the interior with the way the owner actually used the aircraft, prioritizing practical storage for domestic missions. Opening the mid cabin by removing certain partitions added to a more spacious and flexible layout suitable for both business travel and family flights.
These changes were paired with refined exterior paintwork, new PSU overlay panels and updated hardware and finishes. Each detail contributed to a cohesive transformation that left the aircraft feeling renewed rather than simply refreshed.

The Falcon 900B has also benefited from Duncan Aviation’s full scope capabilities, particularly in the cockpit. One of the most significant upgrades now available for the 900B is the installation of the Universal Avionics InSight Flight Display System.
This installation replaces aging CRT equipment with vibrant, modern displays that support synthetic vision, advanced mapping, weather and traffic awareness features. During the upgrade, more than 250 pounds of dated wiring and equipment were removed, reducing weight and simplifying future maintenance.
The cabin of the Falcon 900B has also seen striking transformations. The aircraft received a complete interior redesign. New veneer, drinkrails and PSU overlays provided a cohesive visual update, while lighter sidewalls, refined textures and rich accent colors brought warmth and sophistication to the environment. The result was a bright, modern space that felt more open and comfortable throughout the cabin.

While the 900EX and 900B each present different opportunities for modernization, several themes define Duncan Aviation’s work across the series:
- Cohesive interior design with updated materials, harmonized finishes and a contemporary palette
- Cabin configurations tailored to actual mission profiles, whether family oriented or corporate
- Enhanced connectivity via modern entertainment and control systems, including high definition displays and updated CMS components
- Comprehensive avionics modernization especially impactful on the 900B with the introduction of the InSight system
- One stop refurbishment planning that integrates interior work, avionics upgrades and heavy inspections into a streamlined timeline
The Value of a Full Service Refurbishment Partner

Duncan Aviation’s approach is built on collaboration. Owners engage directly with design teams to select materials, finishes and layout options while reviewing photos, renderings and examples from prior Falcon 900 projects. The result is a clear, visual understanding of how each aircraft will look and feel after the refurbishment is complete.
Combining interior upgrades, avionics installation, inspections and exterior paint during a single downtime period maximizes efficiency and improves long term value. The Falcon 900’s strong market presence means that a thoughtfully refurbished aircraft can enjoy improved resale positioning and an extended service life.
