Transport Canada has certified the two remaining Gulfstream jet models at the heart of recent threats by U.S. President Donald Trump against Canada\u2019s aerospace industry.<\/p>\n

The federal department awarded \u201ctype certification\u201d to Gulfstream\u2019s G700 and G800 planes on Monday, according to a document from Transport Canada\u2019s National Aeronautical Product Approval database. Two other Gulfstream models, the G500 and G600, were approved<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Federal officials had been working behind the scenes to assuage U.S. anger over jet safety approvals after Mr. Trump blasted Canada in a social media post in late January for having \u201cwrongfully, illegally and steadfastly refused\u201d to certify the four Gulfstream jet models.<\/p>\n

Regulators have given the thumbs-up to Gulfstream’s latest business jets, less than a month after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs over the planes’ status north of the border.<\/p>\n

The President said the United States would decertify the Global Express jets made by Canada\u2019s Bombardier Inc. BBD-B-T<\/a> and \u201call aircraft made in Canada\u201d until Canada approves the new business jets made by Savannah, Ga.-based Gulfstream, a unit of General Dynamics Corp. GD-N<\/a> He also threatened to impose<\/a> a 50-per-cent import tariff on Canadian aircraft sold into the U.S. if the situation was not immediately addressed.<\/p>\n

The declaration sparked alarm and confusion among aviation-sector leaders in both Canada and the U.S., with some commentators saying Mr. Trump was using his power to undermine the safety functions of regulators.<\/p>\n

The head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said his country was simply looking for a level playing field, and questioned whether regulators in other countries were devoting sufficient resources to aircraft approvals. <\/p>\n

Bombardier and Gulfstream are major competitors in the private jet market, each boasting a healthy backlog of orders stemming from strong demand for their products worldwide. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: A mockup of the Gulfstream G700 is unveiled at an exhibition in Las…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[901,888,902,879,877,903,49,48,876,895,896,891,878,875,46,549,295,894,887,914,880,881,893,889,890,884,904,885,909,910,44,912,907,911,905,908,882,898,899,714,897,906,865,61,900,892,886,883,913],"class_list":{"0":"post-497046","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-alberta","9":"tag-arts-news","10":"tag-bc","11":"tag-breaking-news","12":"tag-breaking-news-video","13":"tag-british-columbia","14":"tag-ca","15":"tag-canada","16":"tag-canada-news","17":"tag-canada-sports","18":"tag-canada-sports-news","19":"tag-canada-trafficcanada-weather","20":"tag-canadian-breaking-news","21":"tag-canadian-news","22":"tag-economy","23":"tag-education","24":"tag-environment","25":"tag-federal-government","26":"tag-foreign-news","27":"tag-globe-and-mail","28":"tag-globe-and-mail-breaking-news","29":"tag-globe-and-mail-canada-news","30":"tag-government","31":"tag-life-news","32":"tag-lifestyle","33":"tag-local-news","34":"tag-manitoba","35":"tag-national-news","36":"tag-new-brunswick","37":"tag-newfoundland-and-labrador","38":"tag-news","39":"tag-northwest-territories","40":"tag-nova-scotia","41":"tag-nunavut","42":"tag-ontario","43":"tag-pei","44":"tag-photos","45":"tag-political-news","46":"tag-political-opinion","47":"tag-politics","48":"tag-politics-news","49":"tag-quebec","50":"tag-sports-news","51":"tag-technology","52":"tag-travel","53":"tag-trudeau","54":"tag-us-news","55":"tag-world-news","56":"tag-yukon"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
