Galleys, Lavatories, Monuments & Cabin Structures
The fixed structural fit-out of the cabin: galley monuments and inserts, lavatories, overhead stowage bins, class dividers, closets, sidewall and ceiling panels, and metal wall systems. Collins Aerospace is the largest supplier of galleys, lavatories and bins; interior architecture specialists such as INTOS and ceiling/wall-system makers like Armstrong supply the surrounding cabin shell. All monuments are certified to FAR 25.853 flammability and integrated to the airframe's hardpoints and systems. Demand is driven by line-fit at delivery and by space-optimisation retrofits — slimmer lavatories and higher-capacity bins that let carriers add seats without a new airframe.
"Gulf widebody operators run the world's longest-haul services, where galley capacity and lavatory count directly govern catering and crew workflow on 16-hour sectors. Densification retrofits across Emirates and flydubai fleets, and new-build cabins for Riyadh Air, keep GCC demand for high-spec galleys, bins and monuments strong, while premium-cabin programmes drive bespoke monument and bar-unit work."

- Densification drives retrofit: densification retrofits across Emirates and flydubai fleets, and new-build cabins for Riyadh Air, keep demand strong for high-spec galleys, bins and monuments.
- Certified structural fit-out: all monuments are certified to FAR 25.853 flammability and integrated to the airframe's hardpoints and systems.
