This is probably a stupid question, but when did Airbus start fitting winglets to the A320? I went on two last year, one had winglets and one did not, and I was trying to work out the age of the one with plain wings.

RE: A320 Winglets
yeah – the earlyer A320-100’s (mainly BA and AF) were none fenced and all the 200 series (post 1991) have the fences, and did u know that Indian airlines are the only airline in the world to operate twin bogie A320’s for use in rough indian runways!! – soz Kabir, was that one of your facts i picked up??

RE: A320 Winglets
Thanks Kabir, I had always assumed it was the other way round and the plain wings was the older one.

RE: A320 Winglets
The earlier versions of the A320 were with winglets, the later versions are without winglets.
