I thought that this would be the best place to ask this question. I've already asked two instructors of mine and they both gave me a different answer, so does anyone know for certain:
Is concorde considered a long or a short haul aircraft?
Thanks for any help.
Long haul I would imagine. Itīs not like it hops over to Paris 10 times a day is it so I would imagine itīs long haul even if it only takes a few hours to cross the pond... Is it not measured on distance as opposed to time?

Thats what I would have said, that long haul is measured in relation to distance. Somebody even mentioned that passenger capacity is also a factor considered. Anybody know anymore about that?
Long haul.
My BALPA subs. data says so!

I agree with WOK, but it does feel like Short Haul if you fly to the States and get back the same evening in time for a pint!
