Last Air France concorde flight to New York leaves Paris
The last Air France Concorde commercial flight for New York left Paris today, closing a pioneering chapter in aviation.
The white supersonic jet took off with a roar from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport at 10.38am (9.38am Irish time).
On Saturday, in its last ever commercial flight for Air France, Concorde will fly back to Paris from New York.
Air France and British Airways, the only carriers to operate the aircraft, are both retiring their Concorde fleets.
The last British Airways flights are scheduled for later in the year.
