Why is British Airways not grounding Concorde immediately?
British Airways are proud to have flown Concorde and want her to retire in dignity and in style. The special events that are planned between now and retirement will celebrate the aircraft and it is fitting that we do so. The airline also wants to give all those people who still wish to fly Concorde that once-in-a-lifetime experience. Some terrific offers will be available to enable that to happen while also earning valuable revenue for the company. In addition, BA will want to work with and support its staff, suppliers and other partners rather than just giving them no warning whatsoever.
