How many Concordes are still flying?
20 Concordes were built and 14 entered airline service. There were 2 prototypes, 2 pre-production models and 2 “first off the line” production models. Of these, five are on show in museums and one has been stripped for spare parts. British Airways have 7 Concordes and Air France now have 5. Of the other two production aircraft which were owned by Air France, one was withdrawn from service and used for spare parts from 1982 onward, and the other crashed in 2000. British Airways currently have 5 operational Concordes based out of London’s Heathrow Airport and Air France are presently flying 4 aircraft out of Paris Charles De Gaulle. The remaining 3 aircraft were not modified after the accident and will now not return to flight status with the imminent retirement of Concorde.
