British Airways
After twenty-four years of accident-free service, will the flight choice of the rich and famous be grounded forever? That is what authorities are now trying to figure out as they are finally collecting the final evidence in the crash of the Concorde in late July. The world’s fastest passenger aircraft crashed and went into flames near the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France. One hundred and nine passengers and four people on the ground died due to the crash. And now British Airways, Air France, and the rest of the world are asking themselves why. Due to the crash, the Concorde’s airworthiness certificate was withdrawn last month and all thirteen of the Concordes, owned by British Airways and Air France, were grounded. The Civil Aviation Authority, the British safety regulator, grounded these supersonic transport jets indefinitely. Just how superior is the Concorde compared to other airlines? The Concorde makes flights only over the Atlantic Ocean from Paris or London to New York. The average speed of the Concorde is approximately 1,350 miles per hour at almost 60,000 feet. The average flight time is about three and a half hours, compared to that of regular plane at almost eight hours.
