Concorde was grounded primarily due to a combination of safety concerns and economic factors. The tragic crash of Air France Flight 4590 in July 2000, which involved a Concorde, raised significant safety issues, leading to a temporary suspension of its operations. Additionally, the post-9/11 decline in air travel demand, high operating costs, and the aging fleet further contributed to its retirement in 2003. Ultimately, these factors made it unviable for airlines to continue operating the supersonic passenger jet.

British Airways officially stated reasons for ending Concorde flights were increased maintence expense and a decreased number of passengers (partly due to a Concorde crash in 2000, and to the decrease in air travel following the 9/11 attacks in 2001). While British Airways made a profit on Concorde flights, it has been suspected that they became convinced that it was even more profitable to fly the same passengers using conventional trans-Atlantic flights.
