About this design
Among other destinations, Concorde flew regular transatlantic flights from London Heathrow (British Airways) and Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (Air France) to New York JFK and Washington Dulles , profitably flying these routes at record speeds, in less than half the time of other airliners.
With only 20 aircraft built, the development phase represented a substantial economic loss. Additionally, Air France and British Airways were subsidised by their governments to buy the aircraft. As a result of the type’s only crash on 25 July 2000, economic effects arising from the 11 September 2001 attacks , and other factors, operations ceased on 24 October 2003. The last retirement flight occurred on 26 November 2003. A former Air France Concorde is undergoing restoration works, and is hoped to be flying in time for the 2012 Summer Olympics
