The invention aims to make aircraft doors easier to open by preventing ice formation or, at the very least, favoring rapid breaking of the ice on the door edges connected to the skin of the fuselage. To that end, it is provided to supply energy along the door when specific conditions are met. According to one embodiment, an anti-icing/de-icing system for an aircraft door () according to the invention includes an excitation energy source and devices (to) for dissipating such energy extending parallel to a side surface () of the aircraft door (), along a sealing gasket () support () secured to the door () across from a fuselage () side surface () framing () the door (). The sealing gasket () of the door () is compressed against bearing () from a side surface () of the fuselage () when the door () is closed.
