| 06/02/2013 | Concorde Retirement | Brian Hankey |
| It is with a heavy heart that we announce the retirement of the Concorde program. This decision was not taken lightly, however the staff has decided to move the Concorde to the Boeing 707 program. Paul Hale is being reassigned from being the Chief Pilot for the Concorde program to becoming the Chief Pilot for the Boeing 707 program.
Please note that with the retirement of the Concorde program, the new flagship program at AFVA is the Airbus A380 program. A key factor to note in this retirement is that the rating is not going away. You will be able to still request the Concorde rating. It will now be requested via a Help Desk ticket. If you have any questions, please email ops@afva.net or contact a member of staff. |
