US EditionTrump Threatens 50% Tariff and Decertification on Canadian Aircraft Over Jet Certification Dispute
Trump demands Canada certify Gulfstream jets or face 50% tariffs and decertification of Bombardier planes, affecting over 5,400 Canadian aircraft in U.S. service, industry data shows.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump posted he would decertify Canadian aircraft and impose a 50% tariff if the situation is not corrected, citing Canada's rejection of Gulfstream jets.
- Amid broader tensions, Trump says he would impose a 50% tariff on all Canadian aircraft sold into the U.S., citing certification disputes and retaliation concerns, without specifics on Gulfstream jets.
- More than 400 Canadian-made planes operate into U.S. airports and 150 Global Express jets are registered in the U.S., while Bombardier said it has 'taken note of the post' and FAA authority on decertification is unclear.
- If carried out, decertification and tariffs could disrupt travel and harm Bombardier, while American Airlines and Delta Air Lines risk losing service at U.S. regional hubs and small communities.
- As part of a pattern, the move follows verbal and commercial attacks on Canada since last year, while Canada seeks to diversify from a U.S. market taking 70% of its exports and Transport Canada certified the Global 8000 on Nov 5.
