More than 15 months after a Concorde crashed in a ball of flames, the world's only supersonic jetliner completed its first passenger flight to New York today, making a long-awaited commercial comeback during one of the worst slumps in aviation history.
Revamped to address safety concerns, an Air France Concorde with 92 passengers aboard took off from Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris this morning for the three hour, 55 minute-flight to New York. It landed shortly before 8:30 a.m. ET.To show their confidence, French Transport Minister Jean-Claude Gayssot and Air France chairman Jean-Cyril Spinetta were aboard the passenger flight — the first since the July 25, 2000, crash that killed 113 people outside Paris."This is the greatest tribute we can pay to the 113 people who lost their lives, and to whom I dedicate this flight," Spinetta said before the takeoff.Plastic Replaces Silver Cutlery
