767 winglets
 
Has Qantas any plans to add winglets to its 767 fleet?

Maybe they are looking at how they perform for LA and OS?

I doubt it - methinx Qantas are more looking to retire their 763's.

Probably not. Their 767's don't really flew on that many long haul routes such as the NZ ones. I think HNL and MNL are the farthest it goes now. All the rest are shorter flights where the extra weight probably doesnt provide the benefit.

NZ is using their 763s for much longer flights than 5000 miles?

Only perth 6x weekly, HNL & NRT a few times a week

There are some other long flights (NRT is sporadic only).
