San Juan, Puerto Rico
Executive Express is pleased to confirm that commercial operations of both the Concorde and Tupolev Tu-144 have officially commenced.
The airline would like to thank Bober 6-7 for its warm welcome into what is undoubtedly commercial aviation's most financially irresponsible fraternity.
Returning two supersonic icons to service was no small undertaking. Reviving a 30-year-old Tu-144, dormant since its last flight in 1986, alongside a 26-year-old Concorde, required years of engineering, certification, and restoration work.
The total cost of returning both aircraft to commercial service exceeded US$100 million before a single passenger had even boarded.
As our Board of Directors noted:
"If you think buying a supersonic airliner is expensive, try convincing engineers that a Soviet prototype parked for three decades is a sensible investment."
Executive Express is delighted to continue discussions regarding the proposed Supersonic Americas Alliance and looks forward to standing alongside Bober 6-7 in proving that speed, style, and spectacularly expensive operating costs still have a place in modern aviation.
To celebrate the occasion, Executive Express has added a new signature cocktail to its onboard menu: the **Puerto Rico Supersonic**—a blend of premium Puerto Rican rum, passion fruit, lime, sparkling wine, and a touch of blue curaçao, served ice-cold at 60,000 feet. Like our fleet, it is bold, unforgettable, and best enjoyed responsibly.
To Bober 6-7, we raise a glass from San Juan.
Here's to Mach 2, impossible maintenance schedules, eye-watering fuel bills, and the comforting knowledge that neither of our finance departments will ever sleep soundly again.
