When was Concorde s last flight?
Concorde took off for its last flight on October 24, 2003.
It brought a close to an almost three-decade long chapter in commercial flight history.
Concorde had been in service for 27 years, having made its first commercial flight on January 21, 1976.
It was jointly developed by the British and French governments and was seen as a significant achievement in aviation technology.
