I doubt it Weasil.
Unlike B.A, Air France were losing their shirt on Concorde operations, so with a merger with KLM on the table, and Concorde operations costing them a fortune, whats an Air France board to do?
Scrub the Concorde, a decision that EADS (formerly known as Airbus) were more than happy with.
That will make the books look a bit better for the KLM merger negotiations.
With Air France grounding Concorde, and the manufacturer withdrawing support, BA had no choice but to follow suit.
I'm sure it was politics, but anyway, I was talking about the various decisions taken about whether to ground a particular aircraft type or not. It's more than a little curious how these decisions have gone over the years.
The grounding of the Concorde following the Paris crash was the straw which broke the camels back, after 9/11.
