ALOHA SHOWS OFF ITS WINGLETS
HONOLULU – Aloha Airlines today welcomed the first of its Boeing 737-700 aircraft equipped with fuel-efficient, performance-enhancing blended winglets.
Blended winglets are gracefully contoured wing-tip devices that are designed to lessen drag and thereby reduce fuel consumption. The first Aloha 737-700 with the distinctive upturned wingtips, Aircraft 745 (‘Aukele Nui A Iku), arrived today from Vancouver, Canada.

By the end of October, four of Aloha's next-generation 700s will be operating with winglets. Among them will be the 11th and newest aircraft in Aloha's fleet, which will arrive next month, already equipped with winglets.
