Which means that they will also use the non-wingletted 738 on longer routes from OSL. In fact, I've been on quite a few trips over 2 hours where this aircraft has been used. I understand that OSL-TRD/BGO/SVG is highly doubtful, as regular cruising altitude will never be reached, but LHR, CDG, KKN or even further away is different, imho...
Question about clarification: A 73G is a 737-700 without winglets. The same type with blended winglets is called 73W. A 73H is a 737-800 with winglets. Without winglets it's called a 738.

So, did you intend to say that the 737-700 without winglets, and the 737-800 with blended winglets, will remain based in OSL?
