a cockpit; a cabin accessible to passengers which is separated from said cockpit by a partition wall provided with a cockpit door; and at least one movable element located on the passenger cabin side with respect to said partition wall, said at least one movable element being slidingly movable between:
an extended closing position wherein said at least one movable element bounds, together with said cockpit door, a transition zone between the cockpit and the passenger cabin, and prevents people from passing between the passenger cabin and said transition zone; anda retracted opening position wherein said at least one movable element allows people to pass between the passenger cabin and said transition zone, wherein said at least one movable element extends, in the extended closing position, along an entire perimeter of the transition zone adjoining the passenger cabin, wherein said transition zone includes a floor, said floor separating a passenger transport upper zone from a cargo lower zone, and including an opening which extends along a perimeter of the transition zone adjoining the passenger cabin, and wherein said at least one movable element is slidable through said opening so as to be accommodated, in the retracted opening position, in said cargo lower zone.
