A decompression assembly for use in an aircraft comprises a cabin lining element, an opening formed in the element, and an air channel arranged adjacent to a rear face of the element and connected to the opening. The air channel is provided with an air outlet which, during normal operation of the assembly, discharges air exiting a cabin region delimited by the element through the opening into an area located between the element and an aircraft outer skin, a first decompression opening, and a first decompression flap which, during normal operation of the decompression assembly, closes the first decompression opening in the air channel and which, in the event of a rapid decompression, opens the first decompression opening to allow a pressure equalization between the aircraft cabin region and the aircraft area located between the cabin lining element and the aircraft outer skin.
