Blended Winglets for OO-TUC and OO-JAP

[golf1411]

Not sure if this was already mentioned:
The 2 B763 of Jetairfly will go on heavy maintenance and will both return in may with blended winglets installed.

Flights for JAF will be operated by Arkefly until both planes will return to their homebase.

What does 'warning! critically set tool' mean? Not that I would touch it anyway, but I wonder what they mean.

Actually, the OO-TUC is already back in Brussels and the OO-JAP just left for maintenance (and WL installation)...

Is there a problem with the PH-... replacement for OO-JAP, wo has left for winglets ?

Are you sure she has left? ACARS website show her operating flight JAF303 yesterday, which means the flight you just mentioned. And PH-AHQ left BRU yesterday as TFL063P to FRA.

Dear All,

Now the OO-TUC have brand new winglets so is it possible to estimate the time saved on a flight from BRU to PUJ for example?

Thanks in advance,

I don't think it goes any faster with the winglets. You might save a little time on refueling though.

No time advantage indeed, only fuel savings AFAIK.

Thanks sdbelgium and earthman for your quick answer
