An ITA Airways Airbus A330-200 has been operating flights for several weeks without its right-side winglet. The missing component was likely removed after sustaining damage, and the airline has not yet replaced it. Photographs have surfaced showing the aircraft in service with only one winglet, making it stand out among other planes.
Despite the absence of the winglet, the aircraft was cleared to return to service. The situation has attracted attention due to the unusual appearance of a widebody jet flying with an asymmetrical wing configuration.
The airline has not provided further details about when or if the missing winglet will be replaced.
