That's not why Concorde was withdrawn. According to some reasonably high up people in BA, Sept 11 was the reason - approximately half of their regular Concorde customers died that day, and after that it wasn't economically viable anymore when combined with the economic downturn after 9/11. It was a lack of regular customers that spelled the end of Concorde.
