They’re almost always money-losing ego flights.
BA1 rarely flies full. The ego is right there in the number. It’s a novelty.
SQ hasn’t operated business class only since like 2011. It has 67 business seats and 94 premium economy seats. And still probably loses money.
The one you didn’t mention was Stavenger to Houston which... only flies when oil is flying high. Because it’s not profitable otherwise.
- bobthepanda 6y agoEven so, the main point of my comment was that the maximum capacity of a Boom supersonic plane is a lot smaller than that of the Concorde (and presumably a more comfortable layout rather than the Concorde's narrow cabin.) So at least the battle it's fighting is a lot less severe. Theoretically speaking, if the seat cost per mile is as low as advertised some airline might want to take some business class seats out and put some premium economy in. What a plane does with seating layouts is its own concern.
