SAS and the environment
The global environmental challenge
• Greenhouse gas emissions are an effect of airline operations
• Today aviation 2–3% of global CO2 emissions
• Air travel is expanding (over time)
• Critical opinion

Sustainable traffic growth and reduced environmental impact
SAS activity list:
• Fuel saving programme, target: 3% reduction in 2007–08 and 6–7% 2010
• "Green approach", potential saving every landing approx. 350 kg CO2
• Fly slower – tests show 860 km/h to 780 km/h = reduced CO2 by 420 kg on Bergen–Oslo
• Improved flight planning
• CO2 offset programme. Customers to buy CO2 reduction equalling emission
• All SAS duty travels CO2 compensated
• Reducing weight – e.g. new seats
• Eco-cruise (distance, position and time allowing). Start June 2007, STO, OSL and CPH
• Continuous pressure on EU to establish the Single European Sky – 12% potential reduction
• More direct and efficient flights through EU/Nordic project (NUAC)
• SAS pressure and dialogues with aircraft and engine manufacturers, and suppliers of alt fuels
