The Concorde SST is just too fuel inefficient to keep in service. BOAC (British Airways) and Air France flew them for a number of years, but even when filled with passengers, each flight actually lost the companies money. With the fuel increases over the last decade, it didn't make much economic sense to keep them flying.
