Abstract: A galley planning system generates loading plan configurations to facilitate the loading of the aircraft galleys for individual flights. The system applies up to date flight schedule data to one or more exchange rules to determine one or more exchange codes. Moreover, the system determines template containers that are associated with each of the one or more exchange codes and also determines a particular tangible container that corresponds to each template container. The system generates a loading plan configuration that indicates a list of determined containers to be loaded into the galley of the aircraft and a location within the galley for each determined container to be stored.
