Overview
- A Transport Canada database shows the G700 and G800 were certified on Monday, about a week after Canada validated the G500 and G600.
- The move follows public threats from President Donald Trump to impose a 50% tariff and to decertify Canadian-built Bombardier jets unless Canada approved the Gulfstream models.
- The FAA had previously granted conditional certification for the G700 and G800 tied to extended fuel‑system icing tests, with full evidence due by the end of 2026.
- Canadian approval arrives even as the U.S. exemption underscores ongoing fuel‑icing compliance work for Gulfstream’s newest jets.
- Despite the rhetoric, no U.S. tariffs or decertification actions have been implemented to date.
