▼ + stars: | 2024-11-29 | by ( Taylor Rains | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

New single-aisle planes offer cost efficiency, smaller capacity, and flexible cabins. This evolution has been largely propelled by the Airbus A321neo family, smaller planes that can flyer further than previous single-aisle aircraft. In 2024, 39,000 flights between North America and Europe are scheduled on single-aisle planes made by Boeing and Airbus, according to data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company. AdvertisementAirbus is pioneering this narrow-body shiftSuch a focus on single-aisle planes that can tackle long flights has been a boon for Airbus. Plus, single-aisle flying allows for quicker boarding and deplaning, which may be welcome time-savings for some customers — especially during tight layovers.

"There's a lot of indicators pointing to guaranteed income playing a big part in retirement confidence." The problem for many American workers: Forms of guaranteed income are getting rarer.

As Joy sought financial independence, the financial tips she found — "eat beans and rice; don't have any fun; shopping is terrible" — didn't resonate with her. "The $1 rule is my twist on cost per use or cost per wear," said Joy, who is a financial coach and debt repayment expert. The rule has also helped Joy personally avoid buying low-quality items or things she won't use often, she said. The "$1 rule" can also be very helpful during the holidays when you are trying to buy gifts for people they will really enjoy, she said. Joy said she uses the rule whenever she buy gifts for people, thinking, "Is this something that they would use a lot?"

His nominee for secretary of state, Sen. Marco Rubio, is known in China as the “anti-China vanguard” and currently sanctioned by Beijing. “Many of the hardliners indeed want a full confrontation and decoupling with China, but is that truly Trump’s objective for US-China relations?

CNN —In a single post, the president-elect told the world what the end of the Ukraine war might look like. Kellogg, Trump’s 80-year-old former national security advisor, has laid out his peace plan in some detail, writing for the America First policy institute in April. Kellogg says more weapons should have been given before the Russian invasion, and immediately afterwards, to enable Ukraine to win. But that’s when the plan – which CNN has reported that Trump’s soon-to-be national security adviser is considering - stops being to Ukraine’s liking. The plan notes the United States manufactures 14,000 155 artillery rounds a month, which Ukraine can use up in just 48 hours.
