A flooring arrangement (100) for an aircraft cabin (20) and an aircraft (10) with the flooring arrangement (100). The flooring arrangement (100) at least one insulating layer for insulating the cabin (20); a wire mesh (150) disposed above the at least one insulating layer; a carpet layer (120) disposed above the wire mesh (150), the carpet layer (120) and the wire mesh (150) being in electrically conductive contact; and at least one resistive element (154, 156) connected to the wire mesh (150), the wire mesh (150) being structured and arranged for being electrically connected to a conductive structure (25) of the aircraft (10) via the at least one resistive element (154, 156). When the flooring arrangement (100) is installed in the aircraft (10), the resistive element (154, 156) allows transmission, from the wire mesh (150) to the conductive structure (25), of electrostatic charges developed on the carpet layer (120), and impedes transmission, from the conductive structure (25) to the wire mesh (150), of high current events experienced by the aircraft (10).
