Gulfstream Aerospace views the 300th delivery in its G500/G600 family as a sign of continued worldwide demand.

Transport Canada issued certifications for both the Gulfstream G500 and G600, following through on long-awaited validations that in part prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to weigh in on the issue. Those validations came through on February 15, and Gulfstream Aerospace told AIN, “We continue to work with both the FAA and TCCA and are optimistic that progress is being made.”

On January 29, Trump threatened to revoke certifications for all Canadian aircraft, including Bombardier Globals, in retaliation for delays in Transport Canada approvals for the Gulfstream G500, G600, G700, and G800. He also threatened 50% tariffs on any aircraft produced in Canada and sold in the U.S.
