FAA Expects Canada to Soon Announce Gulfstream Approvals

The head of the US Federal Aviation Administration said he expects Canada’s aviation regulator to move forward with approvals for Gulfstream jets after President Donald Trump threatened tariffs and other retaliatory actions against the country.

“I think we’ve resolved the issues with Canada,” FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told reporters Tuesday following a lawmaker briefing in Washington about air traffic control modernization. He said his understanding is that Transport Canada will announce certifications of the Gulfstream aircraft this week.
