As a pioneering cabin management and in-flight entertainment (IFE) solution, Lufthansa Technik’s Networked Integrated Cabin Equipment (»nice«) system has been transforming the passenger experience in VIP and business jets for decades. With the recent delivery of its 2,000th shipset, »nice« once again underlines its leading position in the market. To make »nice« even more attractive, Lufthansa Technik is expanding its collaboration with Gogo to integrate their comprehensive Gogo Vision premium content.

While it took more than a decade to reach the first 1,000 deliveries, »nice« has gained significant momentum in recent times, with the next 1,000 units delivered in just six years. Every year, »nice« components are now clocking over 30 million flight hours, which would be impossible without Lufthansa Technik’s extremely reliable customer support and vastly extended production capacity. Since the launch of the first production line in 2004 the company has already shipped more than 400,000 parts for the system, including 100,000 line-replaceable units (LRUs) that keep the global fleet flying. The production capacity for »nice« components at Lufthansa Technik’s fully owned subsidiary Avionic Design has therefore also more than tripled over the years, from 5,000 LRUs in 2015 to 18,000 LRUs per year.

Another reason to celebrate »nice« is the expanded collaboration with Gogo, which will soon enable passengers to stream a wide range of entertainment options on the cabin’s built-in displays and access a variety of content – including movies, TV shows and magazines – all directly through the »nice« system onboard various aircraft. This collaboration sets a new standard for in-flight entertainment across multiple aircraft platforms, ensuring a seamless, truly immersive, and highly convenient experience onboard.

Chris Moore, CEO at Gogo, said: “We are pleased to expand our collaboration with Lufthansa Technik to integrate Gogo Vision with Lufthansa Technik’s »nice« system to elevate the inflight experience by delivering a vast array of premium content.”

Andrew Muirhead, Vice President OEM and Engineering Services at Lufthansa Technik, commented: “This is a milestone moment for us, and we are excited to announce our strategic collaboration to integrate Gogo’s comprehensive content delivery system into business jets equipped with Lufthansa Technik’s »nice« Cabin Management System. We would like to thank the team at Gogo for their collaborative spirit, trust, and enthusiasm as we continue to innovate and deliver value to our joint customers.”
