The decision to ground Concorde was influenced by the costs of maintaining the service for a very small number of customers who could afford to travel by Concorde. It was not a profitable service.Concord/e has one serious accident then the fleet is grounded, while Boeings fall out of the sky at regular intervals, yet they remain in service?
....and to redesign the fuel tanks on the wings to prevent another similar accident would prove even less cost effective.
