What we know about SK944

What flying ORD to CPH takes

It is a long-haul sector, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. SAS Scandinavian Airlines needs a widebody twinjet: the sector needs long-range tanks and a cabin crew rest provision, which rules out most single-aisle types. In daylight the sun sits on the right (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign SAS944 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 32 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-21. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

SK944 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of SK944 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-21. Those records contain 4 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was ORD-CPH (8 records).

The median recorded visibility was 480 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does SK944 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A330-300, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown6,854 km
AircraftAirbus A330-300
Fuel burn rate6.4 kg per km
Fuel burned43,871 kg
CO2, whole flight138.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout277
Passengers carried230 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger603 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 603 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy227 seats, 188 flown
437 kg CO2 per seat
Business42 seats, 35 flown
1,266 kg CO2 per seat
First8 seats, 7 flown
1,747 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, SK944 emits what 2,311 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 3,546 km, or 17,222 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 5,556 km and 10,275 km, interpolated to this route's 6,854 km. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put SK944 against another flight.
