Where all has the concorde landed?
 

I was having a discussion with a friend, he was insisting that Concorde has landed in Delhi airport 10-15 years back? Is that true?

Would be curious to know where else did it land in its history?

Concorde has travelled extensively. Just on its presentation flight it achieved a RTW with many stopovers. Some Concordes were used as charter planes for prestigious world tours and landed at numerous airports as well. Delhi was one of them. The list of airports is quite exhaustive.

Well that was basically what I wanted to know if it had landed in DEL.

Would anyone know the reason behind it landing here?

Seems to answer it ..... :)

Thanks.

Wow... its preety much been everywhere.

it was in oshkosh at the EAA. it was a pretty awesome site.

I have a friend who owns a travel agency that arranged a one-time trip between Asheville, NC (AVL) and London on the Concorde. It still boggles the mind to imagine the Concorde taking off from what is a relatively tiny airport and, I'd guess, a relatively short runway. But there are pictures to prove it actually happened.

Asheville KAVL airport runway 16/34 is 8,000 feet. Concorde has been off many shorter runways but it would be a bit of a challenge with full fuel to do a nonstop to London (over 4,000 miles) which would be pretty much at the limit of its range (Barbados to London was the longest regular run BA did with Concorde, about 150 miles more). Takeoff performance was always fuel-load dependent. I would guess they made a fuel stop, maybe at Washington Dulles.

By the way, Concorde is quite a small aircraft too. Only 100 seats of course. Noticeable nowadays when the one tied down at London Heathrow is passed on all sides by taxying widebodies.

Missing from that list in Rochester (ROC)

I'd be curious how many of the charter destinations were for leaders/kleptocrats. I know Kinshasha was one - Mobutu would charter it for shopping trips.

San Jose, Costa Rica is not on the list. It visited there in 1999. There must have been a million Ticos lining the fence to see it. SJO came to a standstill.

AF used to run it regularly to MEX in the 80's. It was parked away from the terminal close to the road, just on the other side of the fence. You could see it from maybe 20 yds away!

BA/SQ Concorde
 

There was a brief period when Singapore Airlines and Bristish Airways offered joint service between LHR/SIN. The Concorde was painted with both SIA and BA colours and logos. You can view the photos at airliners.net. Sadly this service was very brief. As far as charter flights, there have been many. I seem to recall the Concorde being in Vancouver for Expo 86 and having flights to nowhere. I also believe during that time there were one or two trips to HNL from YVR.
Please see a new thread I have started about talks of a new Concode being discussed between the French and the Japanese.

Add Toronto to the list as well

Pull what? dont pump what? :)
