Ryanair starts to add Aviation Partners Boeing Split Scimitar winglets, EI-DLY is the first

Ryanair has started to add Aviation Partners Boeing Split Scimitar winglets to its over 400 Boeing 737-800 fleet. EI-DLY is the first to get the retrofit.

Ryanair made this announcement:

EI-DLY is the first Boeing 737-800.

Following a $175 million agreement with Aviation Partners Boeing (APB), Ryanair on January 23 installed Split Scimitar Winglets to the first of over 400 of its Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft. This modification will improve aircraft fuel efficiency by up to 1.5%, reducing Ryanair’s annual fuel consumption by 65 million liters and carbon emissions by 165,000 tons.

As Ryanair grows to carry 225 million passengers by FY26, this initiative will further the airline’s target of net-zero by 2050.
