It was a huge loss-leader though. Even if you can find enough punters to pay £5000 per trip (you probably could) it still cost more than that to fly it, given the seating capacity, fuel consumption and landing fees. With modern noise-abatement regulations it wouldn't be allowed to land anywhere nowadays, certainly not its primary desitination of JFK who always resented it through jealousy in the first place.

Shame
