If the concorde would still fly today, do you think that anyone could afford the trip (because of fuel price)?

Answer 1

Rich and famous people.....

Answer 2

It was too expensive even in the mid 1970s.

Answer 3

THere are 200 people signed up to pay $200,000 each for 5 minutes of weightlessness in 'Virgin Galactic's' space plane.  There is always SOME market.

Answer 4

yes  celebrities and wealthy people could afford it

Answer 5

Yes. Wealthy people mostly used the Concorde anyway.

Answer 6

let me answer your question this way. virtually all $500,000 and up cars purchased are paid for by the purchaser writing a check/using a credit card.

you might even find there would be an increase in usage because some people who would charter a jet or use their own would fly Concorde for cost savings

Answer 7

Fuel prices dont effect those people, BA would have passed that cost onto the customer. The Concorde was one of the Greatest Aircraft ever built!
