In passenger aeroplanes, baggage compartments for holding passengers' baggage are usually arranged above the rows of seats. The present invention proposes an interior space management system which is characterized by improved management of the aeroplane interior. For this purpose, an interior space management system (1) for an aircraft (2) is proposed, the aircraft (2) having a stowage compartment arrangement (6), the stowage compartment arrangement (6) having a plurality of stowage compartment sections (7), each for holding one or more baggage items (8), and having a control unit (16), the control unit (16) being designed to control and/or manage a distribution of interior regions of an interior space (3) of the aircraft (2), and the control unit (16) being designed to control and/or manage an occupancy of the stowage compartment sections (7) on the basis of historical data of the aircraft (2) and/or on the basis of baggage data of the baggage items (8).
