Boom, a US-based start-up that markets supersonic jets for commercial use, was recently in the UAE to pitch the state-of-the-art technology at the Dubai Future Foundation.
The visit fuelled speculations that soon the mode of transport will be adopted in the UAE and that passengers from the region will be able to travel to places like New York for a little over seven hours, instead of more than 14 hours, and London for more than four hours, instead of seven hours and 30 minutes.
Emirates, the Dubai-based carrier that operates more than 200 aircraft, said on Monday that it is currently not so keen about the idea.
