An aircraft with a landing gear, a compartment to stow the landing gear and doors for the compartment movable between an open position and a closed position. The movement of the doors is controlled by a maneuvering system having two transmission chains or linkages each connecting one of the doors to an actuation member that includes a rotatable arm and an actuating cylinder. Each transmission chain or linkage has a relay element mounted pivotably on a structural element of the aircraft, a first connection element between the arm and the relay element, and a second connection element between the door and the relay element.
