Canada Clears Full Lineup Of Large Cabin Jets After Public Dispute

Transport Canada has issued type certificate validations for Gulfstream’s G500, G600, G700, and G800, clearing the way for the large-cabin jets to enter the Canadian market. The approvals come after several weeks of public friction between Washington and Ottawa over aircraft validation timelines, with President Donald Trump criticizing Canada’s pace in approving certain Gulfstream models. The move is significant for Gulfstream, as Canada is home to a significant number of large-cabin business jet operators, and cross-border corporate travel remains a necessity. The validations were first reported by AeroTime.
