They are looking very nice. 3 of them are already installed with winglets, TF-FIJ, TF-FIN and TF-FIP. TF-FIO is now in Kelowna (CYLW) to be installed with winglets, as are at least 4 more.

Continental one with winglets at Lisbon yesterday too (sorry no reg. noted - anorak left at home...); definitely a visual improvement, but does anyone have the business case numbers for doing it - it can't be a cheap mod?
Have a look at this and then click on the 'more' in 'aircraft details' for, well... more

Some rudimentary returns state fuel improvment of at least 5% and improvement on speed parameters. But as stated an improvemnt of 5% should see other operators wingleting all manner of Boeings.
