Let me give you a tip about how to do Futures and Insights properly: when a bunch of smart people are working on something that seems implausible to you, ask yourself what you might be overlooking.
In this case you are overlooking something very specific. I'll give you as long as you want to figure it out. Let me know when you give up and you want me to tell you the answer.

People quite like being on planes in business class. It’s a rare chance to unwind, be away from office, Have an excuse to be disconnected ,have quiet time, watch a movie selfishly etc. LHR-NYC would be nice a touch shorter, the return ideally would be 2 hours longer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there an assumption that the planes will carry people rather than things like packages? Maybe an assumption that the only application is business (as opposed to military, etc.)?
