Many international companies already pay for business class flights for their employees going between US <-> Europe. There's plenty of market there. It just depends on whether Boom can get their costs down to be comparable to an existing business class flight. If it cost, say, 50% more but took half the time for a flight from San Francisco to London, I think that would be pretty compelling for the people currently taking business class.

Many business travelers are not on such a strict schedule that saving 6 hours or whatever is a particular business benefit. By and large, although paying for business class is framed as a justified expense because the employee will be more rested, it's really mostly a perk.
