The popularity of the famous supersonic jets hasn't been the same since an Air France Concorde crashed near Paris in 2000, killing 113 people.

Since then not enough people have been paying the supersonic fares to go on it and it's just getting too expensive to keep in the air.

British Airways want to end their historic flights with some special ticket deals.

Deals from London to New York include:

• One-way ticket and normal airline jet return in economy class for £1,999
• One-way on Concorde and normal airline jet return in business class (Club World) for £2,999
• One-way on Concorde and normal airline jet return in first class for £3,499
• One Concorde return flight for £3,999.

Watching an eclipse on board Concorde

There had been reports Concorde would stop flying in 2007.

But since the Paris crash, there have been lots of little scares for the plane.

It won't be the end for Concorde though. The planes themselves will be heading for a cosy retirement in museums.
