An adhesive joint for an aircraft includes a first aircraft component having a first surface forming one or more isolation grooves, a second aircraft component having a second surface and an adhesive forming a bondline between the first and second surfaces to bond the first aircraft component to the second aircraft component. The adhesive substantially fills the one or more isolation grooves to form at least one disbond arrest boundary. The at least one disbond arrest boundary is operable to prevent a disbond in the bondline from traversing therethrough, thereby preventing the disbond from propagating along the bondline across the at least one disbond arrest boundary.
