Like Continental, Northwest, American and many others with B757, winglets added. The thing is the colours added to the UA B757s winglets, beautiful. AIRFLEETS.NET STAFF PHOTO SCREENER

Retro-fitting winglets to 737NG and even older 752s are so popular nowadays. The modification cost+added weight penalty hv finally became justifiable given the fuel cost savings @ today's oil prices especially for longer-range missions. I read fm somewhere(Possibly FlightGlobal) about the development of a winglet mod kit for 763ERs is almost complete. I won't be surprised to see the same trend spreading to the large fleet of 763ERs still flying around the world today.

Does anyone know what routes UA plans to use these 752's on. Is it trans-atlantic routes to Europe or will they remain operating within North America.

My guess would be that if UA had no constraints, they would go on the loggest routes that the 757s now fly because thats where the savings would be the most. They would also be useful for hot and high ops. (something the 757 is good at anyway). I do not think that they will be used for trans-Atlantic because it costs money and time to get aircraft ETOPS certified and UA already has a large # of aircraft in their fleed capable of long-haul service. This includes the third largest fleet of 777s.

Presumably only SQ and EK have bigger T7 fleets. Shame they wont use them on trans-atlantic but still it will be nice to see one if i get to Canada or Mexico next year. Ah well. Wonder what a wingleted old colours one would look like. Unless i am very much mistaken all the major US 752 operators now have these winglet fittings on at least some 752's. Not certain about Delta but i seem to remember seeing them.

Delta does have WL on some aircraft. They also have plans to add them to 737NG and 767.

DL last year announced winglets to be installed on 60 aircraft of the 737-800, 757-200 and 767-300ER equipment types. An option for the entire 737, 757, and 767 fleets (over 300 planes) was also taken up. More than a dozen 737-800 are sporting the new winglets right now. In addition to the 60 kits, 17 B-757-200 ETOPS were aquired from TW and winglets were put on and they are flying the Atlantic and trans-con USA right now. The 737-700s will begin delivery this year and these new a/c will asrrive with winglets. The DL buyout of NW will add even more 757-200 w/winglets to the fleet. The DL-Northwest-Comair-Mesaba fleet will be 1000+ strong.
