News out of Chinatimes.com, starting in March, China airlines will start to add winglets on their fleet of 737-800s, which will save millions of dollars of jet fuel a year, as well as reduce noise on takeoffs.
How many airlines have installed winglets on their 737s?

CA
That's all I can think of from the top of my head...

Other than the 736 & 739, who isn't adding or thinking about winglets to thier 737NG fleet.
CI & KE do fly some longer haul flights with the 737NG (more so with the CI than KE) and surprised they haven't done this sooner.
