Southwest Airlines to test 'green' plane
Southwest Airlines, the top carrier at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, said Wednesday that it is testing a variety of environmentally friendly materials on a refurbished ``green plane'' that could result in cutting enough weight from the aircraft to save the company about $10.3 million in fuel costs if the concept is rolled out fleetwide.
A Southwest Airlines plane that left San Francisco International Airport for Chicago Saturday afternoon made an emergency landing in Oakland due to a warning light that turned out to be a false alert.
