Bid to speed up air travel stuck in long-haul

It is 10 years since Concorde ended its commercial air services across the Atlantic.

Both British Airways and Air France operated daily flights each way that took less than four hours to make the crossing. But since then, has air travel become more or less consumer friendly?

If you want to fly over the pond, it can take between six and eight hours, despite the advances made in technology and engine propulsion since 2003. In a world where time is ever more valued, the need for speed seems to have waned.
