Countries will not allow sonic booms over their land masses (except by their militaries in exceptional circumstances). They still haven't actually overcome the boom problem. Due this there are a handful of routes that can sustain a supersonic airliner profitably for a small number of airlines, there are not enough to pay the bills for a manufacturer. Either Boom will go bust before delivering an airframe, or they'll lose the farm after delivering a handful of frames.
