Canada Certifies All Newer Gulfstream Jet Models to Defuse Trade Row -- Update

OTTAWA--Canada's aviation regulator has approved for flying Gulfstream's G700 and G800 aircraft models, potentially bringing to a close a trade row with Washington.

Late last week, Transport Canada issued certificates that approved the operation of the Gulfstream G500 and G600 models in Canadian airspace. On Tuesday, formal approval of Gulfstream's G700 and G800 models were made public.

In late January, President Trump threatened to ground aircraft from Montreal-based Bombardier from operating in the U.S. until Canadian authorities accelerated approval for the four newer Gulfstream jets. Trump also threatened tariffs on Canadian-made aircraft sold in the U.S.

Representatives for the White House, Gulfstream, and Bombardier didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Gulfstream is a unit of General Dynamics, and its shares were up 0.4% in trading in New York.

Both the head of the Federal Aviation Administration and Bombardier's chief executive had said in recent weeks they believed a resolution was near for the U.S.-Canada aerospace-trade row.
