Concorde to Retire?
Huh,
I get the feeling that we are sliding backwards here.
I read the other day that the average flight from london to paris since the 70s has grown longer by 12-15 min due to ATC and Approach saturation.
If we lose concorde, we more than double again the time anybody can freely cross the Atlantic. Concorde is old, but it surely is not an impossible thing to design a replacement aircraft?
Advances in technology should also mean that sector yields would be increased...
