SHENZHEN Airlines has joined the trend of low cost airlines throughout the world with a commitment to equip future deliveries of 737-800 aircraft with fuel-saving technology.
The order for 25 sets of Blended Winglets scheduled to be delivered from February 2008 through 2010 follows the introduction this year of two winglet-equipped aircraft to their fleet and enhances Shenzhen's low cost position in the competitive Chinese market. With these orders, more than 240 737-NG aircraft in China will be equipped with the technology which boosts fuel savings, takeoff weight improvements, payload-range increases, environmental benefits and higher engine-out altitudes.
Winglet adaptation in China continues to gain momentum, and the in-production installation of winglets on 737-NG aircraft is now the standard configuration delivered from Boeing to China. Discussions continue with all Chinese airlines to launch retrofit installations on both the 737-NG and 757-200 aircraft in China.
