An air intake system for an aircraft having a ventral fairing and comprising a scoop having a ventral wall with a first coupling and an opening. The scoop is movable between a flush position in which the ventral wall is flush with the ventral fairing and a catchment position in which the opening is beneath the ventral fairing, and the ventral wall is pierced by a through hole designed to be connected to a flexible pipe of an air conditioning unit. A hatch is movably mounted on the scoop between an open position not blocking the opening and a closed position blocking the opening, the open position can be attained only when the scoop is in the catchment position. A return element forces the hatch into the closed position, and a plug has a second coupling which cooperates with the first coupling to removably secure the plug.
