Abstract

The present invention is directed to a luggage storage compartment for an aircraft having high ease of operation. Specifically, the luggage storage compartment comprises a housing and a housing container, with a drive device for moving the housing container between an open position O and a closed position C, with a closure apparatus for locking and unlocking the housing container in the closed position C, and with a control device for controlling the drive device, the control device being designed to actuate the drive device so that said drive device in a relief cycle guides the luggage container first into a relief region R and then into the closed position C, the closure apparatus being lockable or unlockable in a relieved state in the relief cycle.
