Information
The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was together with the soviet TU-144 the only supersonic passenger airliner ever seen in regular service. The Concorde was in service from 1969 to 2003. The high running cost of the Concorde was one of the reasons to end the service. British Airways and Air France were the only two airliners to operate the Concorde.
Only 20 Concorde were built including 6 non-airline aircrafts.
