Lufthansa Technik and Bombardier are celebrating the installation of the 1,000th nice cabin management (CMS) and inflight-entertainment (IFE) system. To commemorate this milestone, representative nice systems have been installed on the Learjet 75, Challenger 350 and Challenger 650 and the Global 7500 aircraft at the static display at EBACE.

“Bombardier aircraft are renowned for their impeccable design, superior comfort and their use of the latest advanced technologies, including the nice system, which ensures exceptional cabin efficiency,” says vice president, marketing and product strategy Brad Nolen. “Providing instant access to an array of cabin entertainment and connectivity settings, Lufthansa Technik's cutting-edge nice system allows for effortless control and elevates the overall in-flight experience of our customers.”

Lufthansa Technik vice president product division original equipment innovation Andrew Muirhead adds: “This year, at least one nice shipset leaves our Hamburg base every second day on its way for installation in a new business jet. Thanks to the trust placed in us by Bombardier, it has become what it is today, the leading line-fit CMS/IFE system for business aircraft all over the world.”

Being at the forefront of CMS/IFE since its introduction on the market, nice has been continually enhanced over the years, adapting not only to current technology but also introducing advanced features which are well ahead of the competition. Meanwhile, the fourth generation of the system is in development; niceMe targets customers who wish to personalise or customise their onboard experience.
