Airline buys new supersonic planes that can fly from London to New York in 3.5 hours
Boom Supersonic, which is manufacturing the aircraft, stated that American Airlines has placed a non-refundable deposit on the 20 planes and has the option to buy another 40.READ MORE: American mocked by Brits for embarrassing mistake while visiting UK landmarkThe Overture is expected to carry passengers at double the speed of today’s fastest commercial aircraft.Boom revealed its final design for Overture last month, with production expected to kick off in 2025. If everything goes to plan, the first passengers could board the planes in 2029.The supersonic new aircraft has made headlines in recent years and reminds many Brits of the original Concorde aircraft which could take passengers from New York to London in just two hours and 52 minutes.Concorde was known for travelling at twice the speed of sound before the fleet was retired with flights the other way taking three and a half hours.But, under the terms of the agreement, Boom must meet industry-standard operating, performance and safety requirements as well as American’s other customary conditions before delivery of any Overtures and once again making supersonic travel a reality.“Looking to the future, supersonic travel will be an important part of our ability to deliver for our customers,” said Derek Kerr, American’s Chief Financial Officer.“We are excited about how Boom will shape the future of travel both for our company and our customers.”Overture is being designed to carry 65 to 80 passengers.Optimised for speed, safety and sustainability, Overture is also being designed to fly more than 600 routes around the world in as little as half the time.It will fly from Miami to London in just under five hours and Los Angeles to Honolulu in three hours.
