Airlines stop planes from Boeing - wall torn away
Alaska Airlines has grounded Boeing's 737 Max 9 after a window and part of the fuselage were torn away shortly after the plane took off yesterday. This is reported by several media.
In total, the airline has 65 planes of the affected model and the decision to stop the flights is a "precautionary measure", the airline writes in a press release.
The US aviation safety authorities FAA and NTSB are investigating the incident, and Boeing states that it is in dialogue with Alaska Airlines.
A passenger told CNN that the window came off shortly after the plane took off from Portland. Another passenger told the New York Times that she woke up to find the wall to her left missing.

Food prices
Clear the January cash register: Don't be a slave to comparison prices
The poorest month of the year is here. In order to reduce both food waste and expenses, a hot tip is to plan, says associate professor in environmental and energy systems Helén Williams to TT.
She states that many people have intentions to cut waste and eat healthy, but that everyday life gets in the way. But planning can remedy that.
Another tip is to lower the temperature in the fridge to four degrees, be flexible with best before dates and introduce a rest day in the week.
In addition, Williams believes that it may be time to review the size of the packages that are purchased.
- It is easier that there is left over from a crème fraiche of 5 deciliters versus one of 2 deciliters. Don't be a slave to comparison prices, she tells TT.

Swedish inflation
Inflation a glimmer of light ahead of pessimistic 2024
Only one in five believes that 2024 will be a better economic year for Sweden than last year, shows a survey from Indikator Opinion commissioned by Ekot.
At the same time, around 40 percent of the respondents believe that the Swedish economy will be worse compared to 2023, while about the same number believe that the economy will be similar to last year.
- Although there are several areas characterized by pessimism, there are some glimmers of light, says Indikator's head of opinion Per Oleskog Tryggvason and mentions inflation where 40 percent believe it will be better compared to 2023.

ECB vs inflation
Eurozone inflation rebounded in December
Inflation in the eurozone bounced up to 2.9 percent in December, from 2.4 percent in November. This is shown by preliminary figures from Eurostat. The analysts' preliminary tip was 3.0 percent, writes Trading Economics.
According to Eurostat, the CPI rise was driven by food, tobacco and alcohol prices increasing by 6.1 percent on an annual basis. Bloomberg writes that another factor was that energy prices did not fall as much as in the previous month.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, slowed to 3.4 percent, from 3.6 percent in November.
