Read the book "Supersonic Secrets" for reasons of why Concorde died. Revenues had fallen, but AF nearly had another accident with it en route to NYC. Sad its gone though.
AIrbus wanted to spend time and money in more profitable places so hiked the prices to maintain it up. Air France never made a profit so it pulled out. BA had made a good profit, but it had seen better day. AF and Airbus pulled BA with them. This took place 3 years after the crash.
I was there.
