Join Us for An Event to Remember in The Hangar

Join us for an unforgettable event in the iconic Hangar, offering a unique backdrop under the wings of the legendary Concorde G-BOAC. This aviation masterpiece, the flagship of the British Airways fleet, takes pride of place inside the purpose-built super hangar. With exceptional speakers and the historic Concorde as our setting, the 9th Annual Conference promises to be an event that will linger in the memories of our delegates and speakers.

Delegate tickets include end of day Concorde guided tours.

As a special treat, delegate tickets include end-of-day Concorde tours. Imagine reliving the experience of air travel in the Concorde, even sitting in a seat once occupied by someone famous. In 2003, the standard return fare from London to New York was a mere £6,636. Discover fascinating facts about Concorde, such as its staggering fuel consumption of 25,629 litres per hour and the over one million bottles of champagne consumed on Concorde passenger flights.
