Zusammenfassung:An aircraft air conditioning system (10) comprises a process air line (12) adapted to supply compressed process air provided by a process air source (14) to an air conditioning unit (16) of the aircraft air conditioning system (10) and a trim air line (38) branching off from the process air line (12) upstream of the air conditioning unit (16) and being adapted to be flown through with trim air branched off from the compressed process air flowing through the process air line (12). A compressor (40) is arranged in the trim air line (38) and is adapted to compress the trim air flowing through the trim air line (38). A turbine (44) of the aircraft air conditioning system (10) is adapted to drive the compressor (40). A cabin exhaust air line (50) is adapted to supply cabin exhaust air discharged from an aircraft cabin (48) to the turbine (44) for driving the turbine (44).
