Galleys and Inserts
We provide certified repair, overhaul, and refurbishment services for aircraft galley monuments and galley insert equipment on commercial and executive aircraft.
Galley Monument and Galley Insert Repair, Overhaul, and Refurbishment
AIRO Industries Company provides complete services for aircraft galley systems, covering both the galley monument structure and the galley insert equipment that lives inside it. Galleys are the most complex monuments in the cabin. They combine structural framing, electrical power distribution, plumbing, drainage, and a full array of food and beverage preparation equipment into a compact space that must perform reliably through thousands of flight cycles while meeting strict weight, safety, and hygiene standards.
Our team handles everything from individual insert repairs and equipment swaps to complete galley monument overhauls and reconfiguration programs. We service standard ATLAS and KSSU galley configurations across Boeing and Airbus platforms, and we support operators running routine maintenance programs as well as those executing full cabin interior overhauls that include galley repositioning or layout changes.
AIRO Industries Company repairs and refurbishes galley monument structures including the primary frame, side panels, face panels, countertops, cart lift platforms, stowage compartments, and all associated hardware. We restore galleys to full operational and cosmetic condition, or fabricate modified galley structures for operators changing their cabin service configuration.
GALLEY MONUMENTS
The galley monument is the structural framework that houses all galley equipment, cart stowage, and service provisions. It is a load bearing cabin monument that must meet crashworthiness and fire protection requirements while providing the functional layout that cabin crew need to deliver efficient meal and beverage service. Galley monuments take heavy daily use from cart loading and unloading, crew traffic, and the constant vibration and pressure cycling of flight operations.
Galley Monument services include:
GALLEY INSERTS: OVENS AND HEATING EQUIPMENT
Ovens are the most heavily used inserts in any galley and the most common source of galley related maintenance write ups. Convection ovens and steam ovens run at high temperatures through multiple meal services per day, and their heating elements, door seals, latches, thermostats, and control boards accumulate wear and failures over time. An oven that does not heat evenly, does not reach temperature, or does not latch properly affects meal service quality and can take the entire galley position out of service.
Oven and Heating Insert services include:
GALLEY INSERTS: BEVERAGE EQUIPMENT
Beverage makers, water boilers, and espresso machines are essential to cabin service and are subject to unique maintenance challenges. These inserts handle potable water under pressure and heat, which creates scaling, corrosion, seal failures, and plumbing connection issues over time. Keeping beverage equipment in reliable working condition requires regular descaling, seal replacement, heating element service, and plumbing system maintenance.
Beverage Equipment services include:
GALLEY INSERTS: COOLING AND REFRIGERATION
Cooling units and chillers maintain safe food storage temperatures throughout flight operations. These units run continuously and are subject to compressor wear, refrigerant issues, thermostat failures, and condenser and evaporator degradation. A failed cooling unit can force an entire galley section to operate without cold storage, affecting food safety compliance and limiting the service options available to cabin crew.
Cooling and Refrigeration services include:
GALLEY RECONFIGURATION AND MODIFICATION
Airlines regularly modify galley configurations to match changes in route networks, service standards, and passenger loads. A galley that was sized for long haul meal service may need to be reconfigured for a shorter route with lighter catering. An operator moving to a new catering provider may need different insert equipment or cart stowage layouts. AIRO Industries Company supports galley reconfiguration programs that modify existing galley monuments or install new galley configurations to meet updated operational requirements.
Galley Reconfiguration services include:
WHY OPERATORS CHOOSE AIRO FOR GALLEYS AND INSERTS
Galleys are where cabin service happens. Every meal, every beverage, every snack that reaches a passenger starts in the galley. When galley equipment fails or galley structures deteriorate, service quality drops and maintenance costs climb. AIRO Industries Company provides the depth of capability to service every component in the galley system, from the monument structure to the last heating element inside an oven, keeping galleys operational and compliant.
