While the prospect of commercial supersonic flights is probably at least a decade from becoming a reality due to Boom Supersonic's extremely slow development process, there is a strong likelihood that supersonic business jets might make a comeback before we see the second coming of the Concorde. Since Concorde's retirement at the start of the century, supersonic flights fully disappeared from global air travel networks, with British Airways and Air France becoming the only two carriers to ever properly operate the aircraft. The age of flying between New York and London in just a couple of hours had come to a close, amid extensive safety issues and Concorde's financial difficulties.
