With several installations already lined up for early 2017, Aviation Partners Inc. (API) is seeing a spurt in demand for its Split Scimitar Winglet (SSW) and Blended Winglet offerings for Boeing Business Jets and other business aircraft. “The last few months have seen a marked increase in inquiries, and commitments, for our various business jet winglet products,” said Gary Dunn, API v-p of sales and marketing.
The SSW is installed on eight BBJs, with a number of other retrofits planned for upcoming months, said API (Booth 660). The installations are in addition to the more than 700 next-generation Boeing 737 airliners that have the winglet installed. The winglet is standard equipment on new Boeing 737NG-based BBJs, as well as U.S. FAA and European Aviation Safety Agency approved for retrofit on all in-service BBJs, BBJ2s and BBJ3s.
