I am actually not sure on the latter part. if the fuel prices keep going up, flight prices will have to go up even in .eu. Arguably turboprops will be cheaper thus quite likely engendering a “cool i am being economical and eco-friendly” image. This is what I would shoot for if I was to start an airline.

Buy Q400s and call it GreenAir or something 😉

The interesting thing is that SAS for instance is already flying slower in order to save fuel. (http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSL2076257020080520)

They are now flying 780 kph, which is ~ 421 kt, down from 469 kt.

A Q400 flies at 360 kt, so one wonders just howmuch more expensive fuel has to get for this to be viable.

well, will be top brass, but of a smallish company. it is just that an aircraft is slowly becoming necessary.
