Hello there,E-R-I-C wrote:A few dayspatrick@tediek.com wrote:How long this it take to install the winglets?
It depends if the aircraft is provisioned or non-provisioned.
A provisioned aircraft has reinforced wings (delivered from Boeing) and the winglets are installed in 4 days.
A non-provisioned aircraft get its reinforced wings during the modification. The period to reinforce the wings and install the winglets is 10 days.
The PH-BXU is an provisioned aircraft. The modifications are finished at the end of March 2008.
