A wheelchair-accessible aircraft lavatory unit is provided while ensuring the number of lavatories, thereby reducing the amount of space occupied by the aircraft lavatory unit within the aircraft. A movable wall section (38) can be moved to a standard position to allow two lavatories (28A, 28B) to be used separately. The movable wall section (38) can be moved to a non-standard position to join the two lavatories (28A, 28B) and establish a broad space (S) in which a wheelchair can turn around within the aircraft lavatory unit (10A). A large opening (32A) formed by connecting two openings (32) can be formed in a front wall (14) by moving the movable wall section (38) to the non-standard position and opening doors (34) of the lavatories (28A, 28B), which is advantageous in allowing for easy access to an aircraft lavatory unit (10A).
