A handle for opening and closing a door of an aircraft is provided. The handle has a base part lockable to a rotatable shaft of an opening mechanism of the door, a hand gripping part connected to the base part, and a hinge connecting the base part to the hand gripping part to allow relative rotation of the hand gripping part with respect to the base part about a first axis. At least one seat is integral with the base part and at least one seat is integral with the hand gripping part, the seats being adjacent and aligned along a second axis parallel to the first axis. A mechanical fuse element of constraint is received in the seats, such that by applying to the hand gripping part a bending stress around the hinge greater than a predetermined threshold, the mechanical fuse element of constraint shears between the seats.
