OSLO (Reuters) - Scandinavian airline SAS is flying slower to save on sky-rocketing fuel costs and curb emissions of carbon dioxide in a new push to green up its image.

SAS said on Tuesday it has reduced the cruising speed of its passenger jets to about 780 kilometers (485 miles) per hour from 860 kph. The test project, run by SAS's Norwegian unit, has saved it an estimated $12 million in fuel since early 2006.

A 360 km flight between Oslo and Bergen, Norway's two largest cities, at "economy speed" saved 130 kg (287 pounds) of fuel and 420 kg of carbon emissions. The entire journey lasts only three minutes longer, Midteide said.

Ja , det merkes når man er ute og flyr. Siste halvår er det merkbart at at hastigheten har gått noe ned på cruise. Spesielt på nedstigning merker man at denne starter tidligere og med lavere hastighet hele veien ned.
Kabinstøyen er merkbart lavere som resultat av dette.
