DEBORAH MARCHINI, CNN ANCHOR: Business travelers to Europe have had to suffer seven hours or more in first or business class with the grounding of the Concord, but there may be hope on the horizon. "Fortune" magazine editor-at-large Janet Guyon joins me. She has been out to see the Concord and has a report -- Janet.</s>JANET GUYON, "FORTUNE": Before I left London, I went out to see the modifications they're making on the Concord. And the first test flight for British Airways is today. They're putting a new lining inside the wing Concord, and the wing is the fuel tank on the Concord. And it was the bursting of that wing and the rapid dispersal of fuel that created that fire on the Air France jet that went down. So they're making those modifications. The first test flight is today, and they're hoping that they will put it back in service. They're saying end of the summer, but that probably means late August, more like September, and maybe into October.</s>MARCHINI: And financially, what would it mean to British Air, maybe Air France, to have the Concord back in service?</s>GUYON: Well, you know, actually, there are about 1,500 people who fly the Concord regularly, and that means two, three, four times a month. They pay about $9,000 to $10,000 apiece on a return flight. So yes, that's a lot of money for a small chunk of people, but you know it's not really huge financial impact for the airlines themselves. It is a huge financial impact, is a huge impact for the people who have been without the Concord for the last year.</s>MARCHINI: Yes, pity them, right, and those of us who have to make do in coach, for their cramped legs are happy to be going to Europe at all.
