The Concorde was primarily flown by pilots from British Airways and Air France, the two airlines that operated the supersonic passenger aircraft. Notable pilots included Captain Mike Bannister from British Airways, who was one of the last to fly it, and Captain Jean-Pierre Gauthier from Air France. The aircraft was famous for its speed and luxury, allowing passengers to travel at over twice the speed of sound. Concorde's service was retired in 2003, marking the end of commercial supersonic flights.
