There are no An-24s with winglets. You've seen a bunch of Chinese made Y-7K, a further development of the An-24. If I am not mistaken the winglet'ed versions are only used by the Chinese military. I don't believe the civilian Y-7 has winglets.

The Y7 had several civilian operators. An interesting aircraft.
Maybe this is what you saw

Thanks for the info. Certainly most likely to be Y7's but I could only get those hazy photos.

Hi,
passing through Phnom Penh earlier this year and spotted a couple of An24s with winglets. Are or were these in service? just curious... Link to the photo below.
