Canadian aerospace giant Bombardier is warning of “significant impact to air traffic and the flying public” from U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to decertify the company’s Global Express jets “and all aircraft made in Canada.”

“We have taken note of the post from the President of the United States to social media and are in contact with the Canadian government,” Bombardier said in a statement.

It comes after Trump said Thursday night that he will slap a 50 per cent tariff on all aircraft sold into the United States from Canada unless the country “immediately” certifies business jets made by American company Gulfstream.

Bombardier said the move could have an impact on air traffic.

1. And why aren't they certified?

Key Reasons for Delayed Certification:

Fuel-Icing Safety Concerns: Reports suggest that the FAA granted exemptions for fuel-icing issues in new Gulfstream models that Canadian authorities, Transport Canada (TCCA), do not accept. These issues pose risks, particularly at high altitudes, which Canada takes seriously.

Increased Scrutiny Post-737 MAX: Following the Boeing 737 MAX crisis, foreign regulators like Transport Canada are less likely to automatically mirror FAA certifications and are conducting more independent reviews.

Safety vs. Trade Dispute: The certification delays are regarded as a technical safety issue by aviation experts, despite being labeled as a trade issue by some.

Alternative Certification Standards: Transport Canada has its own rigorous processes and has not yet certified the specific, newer Gulfstream variants mentioned.

2. Yep....if these are new models of Gulf stream it can take 2-3 years to get certified

and that's in the US. Trump as usual know nothing about nothing when it comes to really...everything.

3. And his stupid tariffs could negatively impact over 3,000 jobs in the US.

Foolish "expert businessman" you got there, idiotic magats. (In case any of 'em lurks here.)
