Original Note:
The TU-144 only carried out 102 commercial flights, of which only 55 carried passengers. Its lack or reliability and excessive fuel burn made it unviable. The Concorde carried out approximately 50,000 flights over its lifespan with British Airways alone. https://www.britishairways.com/content/information/about-ba/history-and-heritage/celebrating-concorde#:~:text=British%20Airways%20Concorde%20made%20just,than%202.5m%20passengers%20supersonically.
