PLANE PLANS: American Airlines to purchase 20 Boom Supersonic jets
"Looking to the future, supersonic travel will be an important part of our ability to deliver for our customers," American Chief Financial Officer Derek Kerr said in a statement. "We are excited about how Boom will shape the future of travel both for our company and our customers.
The planes will run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel and fly more than 600 routes around the world in as little as half the time. According to Boom, an Overture flight from Miami to London would take just under five hours, while a trip from Los Angeles to Honolulu would take three hours. American Airlines has entered an agreement to purchase up to 20 of Boom Supersonic's Overture aircraft, with an option for an additional 40.
Boom expects to start rolling out the Overture aircraft in 2025 and carry its first passengers by 2029.
