Transport Canada certifies Gulfstream G500 and G600 jets
Transport Canada approved Gulfstream’s G500 and G600 jets after delays and U.S. pressure, while certification of the G700 and G800 models remains under review for safety concerns.
- On Feb. 15, Transport Canada certified Gulfstream G500 and G600, recorded on a government posting and first reported by Reuters, published by The Canadian Press on Feb. 20, 2026.
- Facing pressure from the U.S. administration, Trump threatened to 'decertify' planes and impose 50 per cent tariffs last month, according to social media posts.
- Under global aviation rules, the U.S., as the design country, holds primary responsibility for a type certificate, and the head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said earlier this month he expected Canada would soon announce certifications.
- Aviation experts cautioned that certification must avoid political influence, noting other regulators can refuse data while Donald Trump, U.S. President, has not followed through on tariff threats.
- The G700 and G800 remain under review, as Transport Canada has not certified these Gulfstream models due to possible de-icing concerns.
