To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Concorde’s first commercial flight, Air France is unveiling a never-before-seen documentary entitled “Concorde Air France: They Made the Legend Fly”
21 January 2026
The film brings together firsthand accounts from the airline’s employees who were actively involved in the success of the “Great White Bird”, retracing part of this legend of French aviation.
Presented by Benjamin Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Air France-KLM and Chair of the Air France Board of Directors, this exceptional documentary offers nearly 40 minutes of immersion into the heart of the legendary aircraft, more than twenty years after it was retired from service.
Filmed at the Air and Space Museum in Le Bourget, where the aircraft is on display, the film provides rare, up-close access, from its iconic cockpit, opened especially for the occasion, to the timeless elegance of its cabin designed by Andrée Putman.
