Is it possible to operate a Concorde and have profits in AE?

[Luft]

I've never tried it, but the profits have to be very low, similar to operating a Super VC10 over one of its competitors.

Yes it's possible, very possible. I have done so on a number of occasions.

I broke even too. There are a few tricks to it though:
- Operate at least 10
- Use Scam IFS
- Use on >2000 mile routes
- Maximise util
- Avoid competition where possible

I'd advise against that. Buying makes more than leasing so wait until you make $7-$10M a day.

I successfully pulled off 158Y. It would be wiser to have 40C 80Y or the like, but this was an LCC.

It just the fuel consumption on all those 3 are quite high, i probably ended up with 777-300, A330-300, A340-200/300, and A320/A321

I tried concorde once, only made less than $20.000 profit each day, fuel consumption is too damm high!
