Abstract

In a passenger service unit, particularly in a passenger cabin of an aircraft, comfort and service elements such as a reading lamp, a flight attendant call button, a loudspeaker, an air nozzle, an oxygen mask and generator, optical display elements, are integrated into a service column. Feeder lines between a main supply line and the passenger service columns are flexible to facilitate the mounting or placement of the columns as a complement to a passenger seat. The column is positioned in the lateral area of a seat to which the column is allocated.
