Schedule for last 3 -900's:

* PH-BXO week 11/12
* PH-BXP week 12
* PH-BXR week 13

It takes 4 to 5 days to fit the winglets on these aircrafts

Looking at the speed the -900's are being fitted with winglets, the PH-BXR(last -900) will be finished at the end of week 12.

Today, 21-03 PH-BXP has left H10 with the winglets fitted. The final aircraft to receive winglets is now in the hangar, PH-BXR. Also the modification of the eyebrow windows is speeding up. Many 737`s have already the small cockpit windows removed and plugs installed.

hi all,

if i understand correctly, all KLM B737NG (-800's & 900's) are now fitted
with blended winglets ?

and, may be a bit off this topic, but the same category, all Transavia 737s
are also fitted with blended winglets or are there still frames without them ??
