A cooling device for the cooling of bleed air in an aircraft comprises an inlet opening for letting in bleed air, and an outlet opening for letting out bleed air. Furthermore, the cooling device comprises a heat exchanger with a first surface, along which the bleed air can be led from the inlet opening to the outlet opening, and with a second surface, along which a cooling medium can be led. The first surface comprises a catalytic element and is designed to carry out a catalytic reduction of bleed air impurities. The heat exchanger is a rib plate heat exchanger, and the first surface is at least in part formed by a first rib.
