>I'm optimistic for them - cutting your trip time in half is certainly something to brag about.

I wonder how the economics works out. We know consumers are willing to give up a lot of things for cheaper tickets. And for that market it is now a volume business.

Business Expenses and trip could certainly paid for super fast airline. But this could cut out business trips revenue from normal operation, so it means flight price would have to go up to compensate for the loss of business class?

Although I am pretty sure they will sell well for as a private jet. Most super rich has way too much money and too little time.

I don't think it will cut much revenue from regular business class, rather, it will cut from "first class" (which is on its way out for most routes) and from last minute tickets.
