I'm somewhat surprised one or more of the "upscale" carriers like Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, etc. haven't pushed for development of a modern SST. Maybe they have but it's just not economically feasible to design and manufacture what would ultimately be a niche aircraft without heavy government subsidies (like the Concorde received)?
