The topic resurfaced today in the UK as yesterday (8/4) rumours in the European press suggested that AF were to announce 2007 as the date they would stop.
BA gave the same answer that they gave in feb...Concorde future was in the process of being decided but no decision had been made.
The airline normally plans ahead 4-5 years in terms of fleet usage so this would put BA in the same time frame of 2007. Yes other issues, such as very low loads could bring this forward, But BA unlike AF have had excellent loads. AF have been hit by a boycott of some US pax due to their stance on the war in Iraq.
What will now not happen is the re-life 2 project that would see the aircraft flying till 2015. They would, need good loads on the BA001/2/3 and 4 to pay for it, but we only have half these services due to the decline post 9/11. Nobody in the UK has every talked about not flying on the aircraft due to any safety issues, it simply economic downturn
