With an eye on slashing its flight times, AmericanAirlines has agreed a deal with BoomSupersonic to buy as many as 60 of its in-development Overture aircraft.

With an eye on cutting some of its international journey times in half, American Airlines has agreed a deal with Boom Supersonic to purchase 20 of its in-development Overture aircraft, with an option to buy a further 40 planes further down the track.

The deal surpasses the one inked by United Airlines last year when the carrier placed an initial order of 15 Overture jets with an option to buy an additional 35 later on. According to Boom, the Overture will also become the first large commercial aircraft that’s net-zero carbon, flying on 100% sustainable fuel.

Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom, said his company was “proud to share our vision of a more connected and sustainable world with American Airlines.”
