    Abstract: A system for supplying passengers with air comprises an air supply line and an individual air panel with at least one air nozzle. The air supply line can be fitted with a plurality of laterally situated air outlets, which are spaced apart at uniform distances from each other. The individual air panel comprises an air tap opening with a width and length, wherein the length is several times greater than the width. The individual air panel can be variably positioned in the longitudinal direction on the air supply line in such a way that the air tap opening in the longitudinal direction is arranged parallel to the air supply line, and that the air tap opening covers at least one air outlet. In this way, air can flow out of the air supply line through the air outlet and air tap opening to the air nozzle.
