I disagree when u say BA uses the business sector as a cash cow. The operating cost of the Concorde is very high. The ones which you are arguing on are very much in BA hands…..but we have to remember the Concorde is over 30 yrs old. Its a BIG gas guzzler….. its maintanence cost hits the roof as spares for the Concorde are made specialy, which adds more cost. Above all these costs Concorde only seats a little over 100 passenegers…so they HAVE TO get these costs off them, otherwise the Concorde would have been grounded long back.

I don’t know very much about the technical aspects of operating an aircraft like Concorde but I would imagine the greatest costs are from fuel and maintenance. I very much doubt that swapping ‘champagne and caviar’ for beans on toast and a cup of tea would make that much difference to the profitability of the aircraft.. I would imagine that level of service was just a sop to encourage you that your flight was ‘something special.’

maintanence is the biggest cost factor for the Concorde.

Hmmm never expected that from Iberia. These kind of lapses are the oens which make it easy for hijackers, and post 9/11 still you see these kind of scenes.

Seriously, I think CX has a good cash pile though. They should cope for a while yet, until the hysteria dies down. Then it will be time for a media offensive and a big TV campaign all over the world!

Yes…i think CX will be well equiped in case of a situation.

Plus u dont have to see only those routes which are effected and thsoe which are working….see the whole thing as a huge database….if some data does not arrive…all other datds get affected…..and if this continues for long…the database colapses.
