Gulfstream G500, G600, G700, and G800 Clear Canadian Airspace Amid Cross-Border Friction

Transport Canada has issued type certificate validations for Gulfstream’s G500, G600, G700, and G800, clearing these large-cabin jets for Canadian airspace. The move comes after a public dispute over aircraft validation timelines between Washington and Ottawa. Reuters reported on the certifications, which were documented in a Type Certificate Data Sheet dated February 15, 2026. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency had certified similar models in Europe earlier, bringing regulatory consistency across key markets.
