AU B737s & Scimitar Winglets

[Flying Fox]

Anyone know if either QF or VA are going to fit Scimitar Winglets to any of their B737's?

Interesting question. I haven't seen anything announced by either.

I guess it comes down to a cost benefit analysis that the cost of buying the retrofit and installing them, as well as the additional weight versus the fuel saving.

They current have a list price of $575,000 USD, and the advertised figures can be found here

Based on the APB chart, the fuel saving for the bulk of QF and VA's flights (SYD-MEL and SYD-BNE) would be in the 0.7% fuel burn saving.
