There is described a device for facilitating handling of a wind turbine blade, the device comprising an inflatable member (110, 220a, 220b, 310, 410, 510, 610a, 610b, 610c, 710a, 710b1, 710b2, 710c, 820a, 820b, 910) adapted to be arranged at the wind turbine blade (101, 201, 301, 401, 701, 801, 901) such that the inflatable member covers at least a part of the wind turbine blade (101, 201, 301, 401, 701, 801, 901), wherein, when the inflatable member (110, 220a, 220b, 310, 410, 510, 610a, 610b, 610c, 710a, 710b1, 710b2, 710c, 820a, 820b, 910) is arranged at the wind turbine blade (101, 201, 301, 401, 701, 801, 901) and inflated, an aerodynamic drag coefficient of the wind turbine blade (101, 201, 301, 401, 701, 801, 901) with the arranged inflatable member (110, 220a, 220b, 310, 410, 510, 610a, 610b, 610c, 710a, 710b1, 710b2, 710c, 820a, 820b, 910) is less than an aerodynamic drag coefficient of the wind turbine blade (101, 201, 301, 401, 701, 801, 901). Further, there is described a system for handling a wind turbine blade, and a method of facilitating handling of a wind turbine blade.
