MONTREAL/WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Transport
Canada has certified General Dynamics ( GD ) Gulfstream's G700
and G800 business jets, according to a government document,
weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump called out the Canadian
regulator for taking too long to approve the aircraft.
The head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said
earlier this month he expected Canada would soon announce it was
certifying some Gulfstream business jets that had been delayed
for years. Reuters was the first to report on Friday that
Gulfstream's G500 and G600 jets had been certified by Transport
Canada.
