After the crash of Air France Flight 4590 in July 2000, which resulted in the tragic loss of 113 lives, Concorde's operations were suspended. The aircraft underwent extensive safety reviews and modifications, including improvements to its maintenance procedures and engine design. Concorde returned to service in November 2001, but the combination of economic factors, reduced demand for supersonic travel, and the impact of the September 11 attacks led to its retirement in 2003. Consequently, Concorde ceased commercial operations, marking the end of its era as a pioneering supersonic passenger jet.
