1. A table panel for an aircraft passenger seat comprising a panel component having two mutually opposite main sides, wherein the panel component at least substantially predefines a thickness dimension and a footprint area of the table panel, and wherein the main sides are delimited by a component periphery having straight peripheral portions, wherein the panel component has a multiplicity of mutually separated material clearances so that the panel component has a reduced mass in relation to a solid material panel that in terms of the thickness and the footprint area corresponds to the panel component and has an initial volume of the solid material, wherein the multiplicity of mutually separated material clearances are in each case open in relation to a main side of the panel component, and wherein a sum of the volumes of all material clearances in the panel component result in a clearance volume of the panel component, wherein the clearance volume of the panel component is at least 20 percent of the initial volume of the solid material, and
wherein a main side comprises two regions, wherein a first region has a plurality of first material clearances which among one another are identically aligned, and wherein a second region comprises a plurality of second material clearances which among one another are identically aligned, wherein the alignment of the material clearances in the first region differs from the alignment of the material clearances in the second region.
