Does Concorde belong to the public, since it was bought when British Airways was a public corporation?
BA shareholders purchased British Airways from the government for over £900 million, this included the Airlines entire fleet of subsonic aircraft and its seven Concordes. British Airways is the owner and operator of the UK Concorde fleet. The proceeds raised from privatisation, in excess of £900 million, more than covered the government’s investment in British Airways, including the Concorde fleet.
