Why was concorde stopped from operating?

Answer 1

Yes, maintenance and operating costs were the reason, but public opinion after the crash was an influence as well.

Answer 2

Two main reasons

1) Costs to maintain the aircraft. Like all aircraft, the older they get the more costly it becomes to maintain them. The Cost per passenger mile was getting to a point where it was too expensive to transport so few passengers and still pay the high costs t keep the aircraft flying.

2) Safety. Many safety issues came up after the concorde crashed in France.
