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
