Abstract
An aircraft cabin subfloor construction has flow paths through the subfloor that vent air pockets trapped beneath an air impermeable floor mat on the subfloor where, due to a difference in pressure in the air pockets trapped beneath the floor mat and the air in the aircraft cabin above the floor mat, the air pockets would create bubbles or buckling in the floor mat. The venting of the air pockets beneath the floor mat by the flow paths eliminates the problem of bubbling or buckling in the floor mat.
