An aircraft passenger suite (200) and method are provided. The aircraft passenger suite comprises a console (150) and a table (130) movably mounted to the console, the table being moveable along a table path between a first position and a second position. A controller (210) controls electro-mechanical movement of the table along the table path. The controller comprises an initiation input for receiving an instruction to initiate electro-mechanical movement of the table. The suite comprises sensing equipment for sensing if any obstacle is present on the table path and providing, to the controller, an indication of whether or not any obstacle is present on the table path. The controller is configured to prevent electro-mechanical movement of the table along the table path if the controller receives an indication that an obstacle is present on the table path.
