Abstract: A modular communication fixture is installed in a passenger aircraft adjacent to an entrance and exit area adjoining a passenger boarding door. The fixture includes a housing, at least one access door that is selectively movable to an open position and a closed position relative to the housing, an information and communication terminal arrangement that is installed at least partly in the housing and that includes a control section, and a seat that is adapted to support a person seated thereon and that is arranged movable into and out of the housing. In the open position, the at least one access door permits access to the control section and the seat, and extends into the entrance and exit area. In the closed position, the at least one access door prohibits access to the control section and the seat, and does not obstruct the entrance and exit area.

Abstract: A modular communication fixture is constructed for installation in a passenger conveyance particularly a passenger aircraft cabin. The fixture includes first components for the use and/or benefit of passengers and second components for the use by on board personnel only. The fixture has a housing and a door with an opening. The first components are so arranged in the housing that the first components are available for use by passengers through the opening in the door when the door is closed. The second components are so arranged that personnel can use the respective components when the door is open. When the door is open the fixture provides a work station for a personnel member.
