An aircraft fuselage (fig.1,4) has a barrier wall 20 separating fore and aft sections (fig.1,4b,4c), with a sliding door 25 which moves in a straight line across the barrier wall between an open position, and a closed position (fig.7) in which the door covers an opening 21. A seal assembly 50 has a first part 51 attached to the barrier wall, around the opening’s perimeter, and a second part 52 attached to the door which engages with the first part at respective seal surfaces 51a,52a, forming a seal which may prevent passage of smoke, water or air, for example. One of the seal parts compresses at a tapered edge 54a of the other of the part as the door moves into the closed position. The seals may be formed from a low friction material, compressible and/or elastomeric material, such as PTFE. Alternatively, the surfaces (fig.10,151a,152a) of the first and second seal parts are angled at an oblique angle relative to a width of the seal surfaces, aligned with the direction of movement of the door, which may minimise frictional contact between the parts.
