The Concorde was shut down primarily due to financial difficulties, exacerbated by high operating costs and declining passenger numbers following the 2000 Air France Flight 4590 crash, which raised safety concerns. Additionally, the economic downturn and increased competition from more fuel-efficient aircraft made it less viable for airlines to operate supersonic flights. Ultimately, the combination of these factors led to its retirement in 2003.
