Disclosed is a wing (3) for an aircraft (1), comprising a fixed wing (5), and a foldable wing tip portion (9) mounted to the fixed wing (5) via a tip hinge (11) rotatable about a tip hinge axis (13) between an extended position (15) and a folded position. The object, to provide an arresting device that allows to arrest the foldable wing tip portion with respect to the fixed wing in a very precise position and at the same time can be engaged in a simple and quick manner, is achieved in that the wing (3) comprises an arresting system (17) including a first hook (23) mounted to the foldable wing tip portion (9) and a second hook (25) mounted to the fixed wing (5), wherein the first hook (23) and the second hook (25) are configured to be moved relative to one another between an arrested position (47), where the first and second hooks (23, 25) are engaged and relative movement of the first and second aircraft components (19, 21) is inhibited, and a release position (49), where the first and second hooks (23, 25) are disengaged and relative movement of the first and second aircraft components (19, 21) is allowed, and wherein the first and second hooks (23, 25) are formed and arranged such that they can be moved into the arrested position (47) when the foldable wing tip portion (9) is in the extended position (15).
