jet2 757 winglets
Hi,

Have jet2 retro-fitted some of their 757s with winglets?
What benefits are there for the fleet operator?

Thanks

Mike

They reduce wingtip vortices which means in simple spotter terms better MPG

They can also allow more of the wing to produce lift, which means they can carry more weight too.
