Abstract

The invention relates to an overhead luggage compartment for aircraft, comprising: a tray for accommodating pieces of luggage, which tray can be pivoted about an axis of rotation between a closed position and an open position; and comprising a housing, which encloses the tray in the closed position and which has devices arranged thereon for fastening to a supporting structure of the aircraft and has a suspension device for a passenger service unit; and comprising a closure element for holding the tray in the closed position. The housing is formed by two frame parts arranged lateral to the tray, which frame parts are connected to each other by means of cross-braces, and the fastening devices and the suspension device for the passenger service unit and at least one stop element for limiting the open position of the tray are arranged on the frame parts.
