Your source notes that those were charter destinations that were available. It’s really just a list of places that Air France or BA flew. It lists Denver, for example, but I can’t find a single other source that actually shows the Concorde having visited Denver. I’m not arguing that the Concorde only went to NY, London, and Paris. I’m arguing that it was never a critical link in medical supplies logistics, and that using just a little logic explains it.
It mentions nothing about the Concorde being used for medical deliveries on charter, or at all. Nor have you substantiated using fighters for medical deliveries in its lieu, which was asserted. It also notoriously wasn’t viable for longer flights without refueling, which again, is another logistical and timing issue for medical flight.
The rub with Concorde, or any supersonic jet, is that they are not allowed to operate supersonic over land. That makes it an expensive, fuel hogging, very loud, plane with special runway needs.
