The current focus is laser-sharp: get the first ship built and tested by the end of 2025 to start commercial service in 2026. If they hit these milestones, the financial picture changes dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s the quick math on the value proposition: two operational Delta ships are projected to support a steady-state of 125 flights per year, which translates to a target of $450 million in annual revenue. To be fair, the new ticket price is expected to be \u003cstrong\u003e$600,000 or higher\u003c\/strong\u003e, up from the previous \u003cstrong\u003e$450,000\u003c\/strong\u003e, which could boost that revenue projection further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe company's organization looks strong right now because they paused the older Unity flights to pour capital into this new fleet.
