- Boeing deal makes room for growth in S.C.
Boeing has signed an agreement that allows the company to purchase nearly 1,100 acres of land at its jet-factory site in South Carolina. A company spokesman said the plane manufacturer does not have immediate plans to expand its operations at the site and that the purchase agreement "makes sense to protect any future growth plans the company may have."

- Lithium-battery ICAO regulations to go into effect Tuesday
Scrutiny of the safety of transporting lithium batteries is intensifying as new International Civil Aviation Organization regulations regarding the transport of lithium batteries go into effect Tuesday and the industry awaits the final report on a United Parcel Service accident caused by a fire in the jet's lithium-battery cargo. The aviation industry would prefer tighter safety regulations. Lithium-battery technology "is going to be part of our lives and transportation, so we need to step up and find a way to appropriately oversee it," said Flight Safety Foundation President Bill Voss.

- Experts predict higher air fares, more bundles in 2013
Air travel experts are predicting higher airline fares in 2013, continuing the rising price trend seen in 2012. "I wouldn't be surprised to see airfares rise like they did this year, between 3 and 6% domestically," said FareCompare.com co-founder Rick Seaney. Airlines are also expected to enhance their "bundling" services, which would allow customers to be more selective about ancillary services and products associated with their flights.
