Concorde Services, 1976-2003

Interestingly, the four cities with regular Concorde service throughout its lifetime were London and Paris - the hubs for the two flag carriers whose governments had funded the SST - and New York and Washington - the financial and political capital of the world's richest economy. Other services where attempted, albeit for a short duration as they turned to be economically unprofitable. The short-lived services to Dallas and Singapore were undertaken as joint services with Braniff and Singapore Airlines, respectively. The most enduring service outside the London-Paris-New York-Washington core was a winter only service between London and Bridgetown (Barbados), an upscale tourist destination.
