A wing for an aircraft includes a leading edge and a wing tip extension extending from an end of a main wing region to a wing tip. The wing tip extension includes an arrangement of openings at least from the end of a main wing region to the wing tip along the leading edge, which openings are connected to an air conveying device for conveying air through the openings. Thereby in flight states with a low flight velocity the flow around a wing tip extension can be harmonized such that the drag is decreased and the lift of the wing is increased.
