Question

Prior to the retirement announcement, Concorde was reported to quite often fly with a significant number of empty seats. Mr Branson also mentions this in the Sky News report.

Is it the weight saving that stops BA from filling the seats with, for example, first class subsonic passengers? Is it more economic to fly half full than to flog some 'cheap' seats?

Sky News report

Thanks
