Howard Millar, deputy chief executive, said pilots are being instructed to fly slower -- adding an average 2 minutes for every hour in the air -- to cut back on fuel usage, The Express reported Tuesday.

Officials said about the quarter of the airline's profits are coming from add-on fees, such as allowing passengers to choose special seating and fines for passengers who don't bring printed copies of boarding passes purchased online.
