July / august 2023

While the summer period of July and August is generally conducive to a decrease in commercial and industrial activities, certain "major events" can nevertheless take place during these breaks.

This was particularly the case with flight AF1995 which, on August 15 and 16 of that same year, enabled Concorde F-BTSD to beat the absolute speed record around the world in 31h 27mn and 21 seconds.
