That's why this move is so curious to me. All the major commercial carriers are effectively competing on ticket cost at this point, so the demand is for cheaper-per-passenger aircraft, not faster ones. It seems like in terms of pure economics the most feasible supersonic aircraft would be small business jets where speed and comfort are already prioritized and clients are willing to pay the premium.
Maybe this is somehow related to possible spaceplane advancements in the more distant future?

I ended up changing my initial choice of part of Thailand to visit because I could fly direct for much the same price if I went to another region. All other choices involved a pit stop in Dubai.
