 | | The project is being carried out at Stockholm's international Arlanda airport and is partly sponsored by the European Union, said pilot Peter Larsson, manager for the project with the Scandinavian airline operator SAS. |
 | | The so-called "Green Approach" project was first tested in January, when an SAS Boeing 737-800 touched down just 2 seconds after its assigned arrival time from the northern city of Lulea, compared to regular flights which are not often calculated with such accuracy. |
 | | The system is being tested only outside rush hour with 19 Boeing 737s from SAS, but the plan is to gradually increase the number of green landings throughout 2006, and eventually apply them to all incoming flights. |
