Stowage Types

Each place on an aircraft where you can store product is called a Stowage Position (For more details see Link] and each stowage position has a stowage type assigned to it. Stowage types are maintained centrally by the SkySuite IT team, so you cannot add or edit them. This page simply allows you to view and download a list of all the stowage types.

The list identifies the discrete fixed types of stowage location supported by SkyLoad, each type will be associated with a specific fixed drawable element in the aircraft diagram

Physical Attributes

For each Stowage Type we have defined the default physical attributes (Dimensions and Max Weight capacity). We define separate defaults for each Galley Equipment Type. The main Galley Equipment types are;

ATLAS - Alitalia, TAP, Lufthansa, Air France, Sabena

KSSU - KLM, Swissair, SAS, UTA

ACE - British Airways


Some newer ones include;

SPICE - Space Innovative Catering Equipment (Developed by Airbus, basically doing away with normal trolleys/carts)

ARINC - Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated (specifically ARINC 810 new industry standard for galley insert equipment (GAIN) e.g. ovens, beverage machine, water boiler etc.)

To view the default Physical attributes for a stowage type expand the line and take the "Physical Attributes" option

When you are loading content into a stowage position the physical attributes are used to check that the content will fit and that it does not exceed the maximum allowable weight.

Container Compatibility

There is a relationship between Stowage Type and Container Type in that certain stowage types can only hold certain container types. You can view this relationship by expanding the stowage type and taking the "Container Compatibility" option
