Title: Re: new boac comerical Post by pj747 on Nov 12th, 2011 at 11:00pm
That commercial showe lots of old British Airways aircraft, and is merely advertisment, showing the legacyt of BA and its predecessors. The Concordes are all in museums, the certificate of airworthiness revoked, EADS no longer will offer support for them, and they have been out of service for 8 years (November 26). These aircraft were getting old, the speed wasn't needed, and demand wasn't there for the amount of money charged for such an expensive aircraft. Supersonic flight will, in my mind, never be a major thing for commercial airlines, because you can't fly over land because of sonic booms, and there is no need to get to places that fast (for most people) and it messes up time zones and jet lag even more.
