I wonder if petrr theil is an investor. He uses the deprecation of the concord as an example our socoety is slowing down technologically (literally & figuratively).
I have to imagine demand for international biz class flights have gone up since the concord retired given that global is a given for almost all industries.
If you are an executive (even a well paid employee) it could be worth your time to do this. It is ~1200 usd for a roundtrip flight from NYC to LON.
By the time these guys launch, it will likely be much more. The opportunity cost/math will be simple. I think that there is a high correlation of people who value their time > $200 that need international flights.
Depending how prices shake out I could see this working. Obviously, super hard to do an airline company.
