One day after Lufthansa officially named its second Airbus A380 - calling it 'Munchen' after its second hub city - chief financial officer Stephan Gemkow offered his opinion to analysts participating in the airline's half-year conference call.

From which we may conclude that Stephan Gemkow has never seen Concorde. The poor chap...

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but there was no disguising the economic shortcomings of the Concorde...
Anyway, I guess Herr Gemkow forgot to consider the very appealing lines of the Constellation as well...
