British Airways Suspends Operations of Concorde Fleet

Aired August 15, 2000 - 9:04 a.m. ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: British Airways is immediately suspending operations of its Concorde fleet. The airline made that announcement just a few moments ago. British Airways says it was notified this morning that Britain's air accident investigation branch and French authorities had agreed that they intended to suspend certification of the supersonic jet. Air France, you remember, had already suspended its fleet following the crash of a Concorde jet. That was shortly after takeoff from Paris back on the 25th of July. One-hundred thirteen people were killed in that crash.
