Why have airline travel times not decreased over the decades?
In: 42
Economics. An A380 has a maximum passenger capacity of 840, assuming it’s all economy, while a Concorde has 128. That’s about 4 times more. Non stop on a regular subsonic jetliner from NYC to London is about 7 hours while with a Concorde is about 3 hours.
When you do the math, not taking into account the extra fuel costs per passenger mile travelled as in the comments below, you get about twice the revenue with an all-economy A380 than a high density Concorde
