GLEX 180 minutes ETOPS

GLEX 180 minutes ETOPS
Bombardier have the paperwork to support 180 minutes ETOPS approval for the GLEX. However, they have not been able to advise if any operators have received such an approval,
I need either to identify a national regulatory authority that has granted such an approval, or alternatively, an operator who holds such an approval (if indeed anyone has ever actually obtained such an approval).
I have contacted a number of national regulatory authorities already but getting an answer is not easy (good on the FAA for getting back to me within 3 days).
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Different terminology for the same thing...
As far as Europe goes, there is no ETOPS approval for this ac - ETOPS is for aircraft over 100000lbs and the Global just falls short - so it can not be ETOPS certified here.
What we are talking about here in Europe is called EROPS - the radius of the 3hrs is converted to a distance - on the Global it is +/-1065NM depending on the MTOW. In oder to it get certified and on your AOC, you will need to gradually work towards the 3hrs by proving your aircrafts reliability. I have worked for a company that had achieved the full approval - the plane is registered at the German LBA.
