A sealing structure seals a space between first and second parts of a fan duct and a fairing of an aircraft engine. The sealing structure comprises first and second seal portions for positioning between the first and second parts of the fan duct and the fairing. The first seal portion includes an elongated middle region and a first coupling mechanism. The elongated middle region can be secured to the first part of the fan duct and abutting the fairing and includes a forward end from which the first coupling mechanism extends. The second seal portion includes an elongated middle region and a second coupling mechanism. The elongated middle region can be secured to the second part of the fan duct and abutting the fairing and includes a forward end from which the second coupling mechanism extends. The second coupling mechanism is operable to couple to the first coupling mechanism.
