As part of this relationship, GAL explains it will collaborate with Bombardier to enable go-to-market solutions in support of the in-service CRJ Series fleet.

More specifically, GAL Aerospace received authorization from Bombardier to supply cabin interior aftermarket support for the new CRJ550 aircraft that was launched earlier this year.
