An antenna cladding is for fastening fuselage fittings protruding from an outer skin of the aircraft. The antenna cladding has a carrier for fastening antenna modules thereto; a radome fuselage cladding fastened to the carrier for contact on the outer skin; and a radome cover, which forms a continuous cover and lining for electromagnetic radiation in a predetermined wavelength range with the radome fuselage cladding. The carrier is a fiber composite adapter plate made of fiber having recesses with inserts, which have connection fittings for connection to the fuselage fittings. The connection fittings are arranged between upper and lower faces of the adapter plate and are designed such that the connection fittings do not protrude beyond the upper side of the adapter plate and the fuselage fittings do not protrude into the adapter plate when connected to the connection fittings, but do not project beyond the upper side thereof.
