Ryanair equips Boeing 737-800 fleet with new winglets

The low-cost airline Ryanair will equip its approximately 400 Boeing 737-800 with new split scimitar winglets. These should reduce fuel consumption by around 1,5 percent. In this way, the group of companies wants to save around 65 million liters of kerosene per year.

The investment volume is 175 million dollars. The first machine to be converted with Aviation Partners Boeing was presented on Monday, January 23, 2023. “As Europe's largest and greenest airline, we are at the forefront of sustainable aviation, as demonstrated by this investment in our fleet. This winglet technology will help us meet our ambitious environmental goals on our journey to net-zero emissions by 2050. We are impressed with APB's innovative winglet designs and look forward to having them installed not just on this first aircraft but on more than 400 of our aircraft to further reduce our emissions,” said Thomas Fowler, Director of Sustainability at Ryanair.
