The invention relates to a jet engine nacelle intended to equip an aircraft, comprising a forward air inlet section, a mid-section intended to surround a fan of the jet engine, and an aft section formed from at least first and second half-shells (9, 10) rotatably mounted about an axis (A) such that they can each be deployed between a working position in which the half-shells (9, 10) are drawn towards one another and a maintenance position in which the half-shells (9, 10) are spaced apart, the mid- and aft sections being connected to one another by a frame (12) which is fixed with respect to the jet engine, the first and second half-shells (9, 10) being equipped with positioning means (13) which in the working position cooperate with complementary positioning means (14) formed on the fixed frame (12). At least the first half-shell (10) is equipped with the locking means (20) which in the maintenance position cooperate with complementary locking means (16, 17) arranged on the fixed frame (12), so as to prevent the first half-shell (10) from moving translationally along its axis (A).
