Historical Background and Use of the Concorde Aircraft

The Concorde was a joint project between the United Kingdom and France, and in the livery of British Airways it became one of the most recognizable symbols of luxury and speed in transatlantic air travel. Concorde was operated during the Cold War and into modern times—from its first commercial flight in 1976 until its retirement in 2003. Famous for its London–New York route, Concorde covered the journey in less than 3.5 hours. British Airways continually used the Concorde to serve a prestigious, elite customer segment, turning it into a 20th-century icon.
