Under the terms of the\nagreement, Boom must meet industry-standard operating, performance and safety\nrequirements as well as American\u2019s other customary conditions before delivery\nof any Overtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooking to the future, supersonic travel will be an\nimportant part of our ability to deliver for our customers,\u201d said Derek Kerr,\nAmerican\u2019s Chief Financial Officer. \u201cWe are excited about how Boom will shape\nthe future of travel both for our company and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overture is being designed to carry 65 to 80 passengers at\nMach 1.7 over water \u2014 or twice the speed of today\u2019s fastest commercial aircraft\n\u2014 with a range of 4,250 nautical miles. Optimized for speed, safety and\nsustainability, Overture is also being designed to fly more than 600 routes\naround the world in as little as half the time. Flying from Miami to London in\njust under five hours and Los Angeles to Honolulu in three hours are among the\nmany possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to share our vision of a more connected and\nsustainable world with American Airlines,\u201d said Blake Scholl, Founder and CEO\nof Boom. \u201cWe believe Overture can help American deepen its competitive\nadvantage on network, loyalty and overall airline preference through the\nparadigm-changing benefits of cutting travel times in half.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July, Boom revealed the final production design of\nOverture, which is slated to roll out in 2025 and carry its first passengers by\n2029.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Airlines and Boom Supersonic has announced the airline\u2019s agreement to purchase up to 20 Overture aircraft, with an option for an additional 40.
