An airfoil suitable for being arranged in a compressor section of the gas turbine includes a platform, a pressure surface and a suction surface, and a tip region. The tip region is located between the pressure and the suction surface opposite to the platform in respect of the pressure and the suction surfaces, being a distant end of the airfoil in direction along the first direction perpendicular to the platform. The tip region includes a first surface with a first distance to the platform along the first direction, and a second surface with a second distance to the platform along the first direction. The first distance is greater than the second distance and the first surface and the second surface together build a profiled surface. The profiled surface is a ribbed surface. The material of the first surface is deformable to bend away from the rotation direction of the airfoil.
