When did the ‘Concorde’ aircraft carry passengers for the first time?
Correct Answer: In 1976
Concorde began carrying fare-paying passengers in January 1976, with simultaneous inaugural flights from London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle airports.
A joint British and French project, Concorde flew at twice the speed of sound, cutting the transatlantic crossing to around 3.5 hours. It retired from service in 2003.
