UPS adds winglets to its 767 fleet

UPS has added winglets to its Boeing 767 fleet in a bid to save fuel and reduce emissions. These wingtip devices, which are arrow-shaped surfaces attached to the tip of each wing, enhance the overall efficiency of the aircraft, saving fuel by reducing drag while also lowering noise emissions by improving take-off performance. The modifications will save UPS more than six million gallons of fuel each year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 62,000 metric tonnes. UPS estimates approximately a four percent fuel savings on each 767 flight. “UPS continues to lead the industry in sustainable business practices,”
