SAS operate a mix of 73NG models for a variety of differing tasks

The 737-600 models (No winglets) are primarily used short domestic routes and shorter international routes from Stockholm and Norway. The winglets would just add weight and operating costs to an already heavy frame.

The 737-700 model - Some have winglets and some don't.
Those that don't are normally operated from Norway (Several were early Braathens orders)
Later new deliveries do have winglets and allow them to operate some long sectors including the Canaries directly from Norway.
Two leased in second hand models don't have winglets and are operating from Stockholm (These are replacements for MD87s)

The 737-800 model - Include low density and none winglets units used from Stockholm and Oslo on international business routes such as those to Heathrow

Further models in a higher density seating arrangement and including winglets are mainly deployed on longer leisure services.
