Liebherr also supplies the integrated air management system for the other members of the Global aircraft family, the Global 5000 and the Global 6000 jets, as well as for several other of Bombardier's commercial and business aircraft. The award of the Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft integrated air management system is an additional milestone to the 20-year old relationship between Bombardier Aerospace and Liebherr.
