Concorde The Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde () is a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that was operated from 1976 until 2003. It had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound at Mach 2.04 ( at cruise altitude), with seating for 92 to 128 passengers. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued flying for the next 27 years.

Scheduled service from Paris and London to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport began on 22 November 1977. In 1977, British Airways and Singapore Airlines shared a Concorde for flights between London and Singapore
