OSLO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - A Boeing commercial airliner that belongs to budget carrier Norwegian Air and was stranded in Iran after an emergency landing in December, took off and will arrive in Sweden early on Saturday, a Norwegian Air spokeswoman said on Friday. The plane, a 737 MAX model, took off from Dubai on Dec. 14 bound for Oslo but had to land in Shiraz in Iran because of problems with one of its engines. It had stayed there since, tied by delays over local regulations and waiting for a new engine. Spare parts were needed by its manufacturer Boeing, but because of U.S. sanctions reinstated by the Trump administration, civilian aircraft sales, including servicing and parts, were forbidden in Iran. “Norwegian’s Boeing 737 MAX has taken off from Shiraz Airport in Iran and will land at Stockholm Arlanda Airport early Saturday morning. After two months in Iran, it’s a big relief to finally get the aircraft back home,” airline spokeswoman Astrid … [Read more...] about Iran-stranded Boeing airliner took off and expected in Sweden…

Proposed project seeks to recognize Boston’s slavery ties
By Associated Press | PUBLISHED: February 22, 2019 at 4:26 pm | UPDATED: February 22, 2019 at 4:36 pm BOSTON — Boston is taking a step toward recognizing the role slavery played at one of its most visited landmarks. Democratic Mayor Mary Walsh’s administration has proposed spending $315,000 to restore 17th and 18th century artifacts found beneath Faneuil Hall as part of a project highlighting Boston’s role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The proposal is among 56 community preservation projects worth $34 million that Walsh submitted to the City Council this month. Kevin Peterson, of the New Democracy Coalition, praised the proposal but said Boston still needs to hold a public hearing on renaming the historic hall, which was financed by wealthy 18th century slave owner Peter Faneuil. Walsh has opposed the name change idea but has expressed support for establishing a slavery memorial at the site. … [Read more...] about Proposed project seeks to recognize Boston’s slavery ties
