From Jetwire, AA's daily employee newsletter:

---NEW WINGLETS TO SAVE MILLIONS IN FUEL--- American Airlines will install winglets on 20 Boeing 757s and one Boeing 737 as part of an ongoing effort to cut fuel costs. Because winglets are most efficient at cruise altitude, the 757 was chosen because it flies American's longer domestic segments, such as its Hawaii routes. The 20 Boeing 757s are expected to save up to four million gallons of fuel per year, resulting in the winglets paying for themselves through fuel savings. Installation will be done at the Tulsa base, where dock space and labor resources have been made available though joint management-union "Working Together" and "Continuous Improvement" initiatives. The first winglet-equipped aircraft should be in service in late 2005 and all should be flying by early 2007.

Hvorfor på bare en 737?

Re: AA følger CO

For å finne ut om det er verdt å investere i winglets på resten av 737-flåten. AA har vært litt skeptiske til om den oppgitte forbruksreduskjon stemmer for deres bruk av denne flytypen.
