| Aanvullende informatie |
Concorde's first flight took place on 2 March 1969, making 2019 the fiftieth anniversary — a milestone the Channel Islands marked with characteristic enthusiasm for commemorative programs. Guernsey has no direct operational connection to Concorde, but the islands fall roughly beneath the transatlantic departure corridors used by BA and Air France services out of Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle.
The aircraft was retired in October 2003 following the commercial fallout from the Air France Flight 4590 crash at Gonesse in July 2000, which grounded the fleet for over a year and permanently shook passenger confidence.
