Diehl Aviation is a leading supplier of lavatories. With its high-quality, reliable technology and innovative solutions – such as touchless and eSmart concepts – the company is already designing the smart and comfortable lavatory of the future.

The portfolio ranges from classic lavatories focusing on basic functions to bespoke products in a class of their own. Airlines can enhance the travel experience with special features and emphasise their branding through atmosphere and colour schemes. Diehl Aviation also fulfils special requests to the highest quality standards. Lavatories are among the most complex cabin components, incorporating water and wastewater systems, electrical systems, air conditioning systems, negative pressure systems and smoke detectors, all of which must be installed in a very small space. There are also ergonomic requirements: lavatories must be intuitive to use for all passengers, regardless of their age, height, cultural background or physical limitations.

Safety, quality and customer satisfaction are top priorities for Diehl Aviation. With decades of experience and state-of-the-art testing procedures, the company ensures the durability of its lavatories, from millions of door cycles to static tests involving enormous acceleration forces. An in-house testing centre and customised development tools accelerate the process and ensure the highest standards.

Diehl Aviation's onboard lavatories are used by airlines worldwide. As a supplier to aircraft manufacturers, the company equips short-, medium- and long-haul aircraft. Diehl Aviation also works with manufacturers to develop solutions for new aircraft types and regularly showcases innovations that enable existing fleets to accommodate new lavatories.

  • Space³

    The Space³ is a space-saving marvel for long-haul aircraft. It offers three toilets in the space of two, creating up to four additional seats. Two units can be joined together to create a wheelchair-accessible toilet that provides the utmost comfort. This makes the Space³ the only solution that meets Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements for passengers with reduced mobility.

  • Touchless Features

    Diehl Aviation is offering its customers a fully contactless experience: toilet lids, taps and waste flaps can already be operated via sensors, which is clearly advantageous in terms of hygiene. In the future, this will apply to all elements, including doors. To prevent false triggers, the sensors recognise certain movements, but manual controls will remain available.

  • E-Smart Lavatory

    Diehl Aviation is applying its digital expertise to in-flight toilets. It is the world's first company to introduce a voice-controlled toilet, making travel easier for people with disabilities. The eSmart Lavatory also enables remote maintenance and data analysis, and will eventually provide visual cues on smart mirrors.
