Transport Canada certifies Gulfstream G500 and G600 after Trump threatened U.S. grounding and tariffs

Transport Canada has granted type certification for Gulfstream’s G500 and G600 business jets, according to a government document, after President Donald Trump publicly criticized the delay and threatened to ground Canada-built aircraft in the U.S. and impose tariffs unless regulators approved the models.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Transport Canada’s type certificates clear the G500/G600 for Canadian registration, operation and deliveries, removing a regulatory barrier that followed earlier European approvals and market entries (EASA steep-approach approvals for the G500/G600).
The decision came after public pressure and threats of U.S. grounding and tariffs by President Trump, underscoring how political interventions can intersect with certification timelines and affect cross-border sales, fleet deployment and government procurements (Gulfstream G700 handover to a U.S. service illustrates Gulfstream’s North American commitments).
