Trump threatened to decertify Canadian-made Bombardier aircraft in the US, a move critics say would politicize aviation safety and could disrupt flights if applied to new deliveries; the FAA would ultimately decide eligibility, while existing aircraft would not be affected. The feud also comes amid Canada’s own Gulfstream certification delays and broader concerns about how certification is handled in practice.
President Donald Trump said he would decertify all Canada-made aircraft and impose a 50% tariff on planes sold into the United States until Gulfstreams are certified in Canada, targeting Bombardier’s Global Express. The move hinges on certification processes and may exceed FAA authority, with potential widespread disruption to US air travel if Canadian-made jets are grounded. The story is developing and CNN has sought FAA comment.

A Bombardier Challenger 300 twin-engine jet violently pitched upward then downward, killing a passenger, after pilots responding to automated cockpit warnings switched off a system that helps keep the aircraft stable. The National Transportation Safety Board didn’t reach any conclusions in its preliminary report on the main cause of the deadly March 3 accident, but it described a series of things that went wrong before and after the plane swooped out of control. The trim system of the Bombardier Challenger 300 twin-engine jet was the subject of a Federal Aviation Administration mandate last year that pilots conduct extra safety checks before flights.
A business jet flying over New England earlier this month violently pitched upward then downward, fatally injuring a passenger, after pilots responding to automated cockpit warnings switched off a system that helps keep the aircraft stable, according to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board. The report described a series of things that went wrong before and after the plane swooped out of control. The trim system of the Bombardier Challenger 300 twin-engine jet was the subject of a Federal Aviation Administration mandate last year that pilots conduct extra safety checks before flights.
A business jet flying over New England violently pitched upward then downward, fatally injuring a passenger, after pilots responding to automated cockpit warnings switched off a system that helps keep the aircraft stable, US transportation investigators reported Friday. The National Transportation Safety Board didn’t reach any conclusions in its preliminary report on the main cause of the deadly March 3 accident, but it described a series of things that went wrong before and after the plane swooped out of control. The trim system of the Bombardier Challenger 300 twin-engine jet was the subject of a Federal Aviation Administration mandate last year that pilots conduct extra safety checks before flights.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has reported that a passenger on a business jet was fatally injured in early March when the aircraft violently bucked up and down after pilots disconnected a system used to stabilize the plane. The trim system of the Bombardier Challenger 300 twin-engine jet was the subject of a Federal Aviation Administration last year mandate that pilots conduct extra safety checks before flights. The two pilots and three passengers were traveling from Keene, New Hampshire, to Leesburg, Virginia, before diverting to Bradley International Airport in Connecticut.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has revealed that turbulence was not the cause of a fatal incident on a Bombardier Challenger 300 private jet in March. The NTSB said the pilots turned off a switch that stabilised the plane, causing it to violently buck up and down. The trim system of the aircraft was the subject of a Federal Aviation Administration mandate last year that pilots conduct extra safety checks before flights. The passenger who died was Dana Hyde, who served in government positions during the Clinton and Obama administrations and was counsel for the 9/11 Commission.
