In 1977, and from 1979 to 1980, [[British Airways]] operated a [[Concorde]] (G-BOAD) which was dual-liveried with Singapore Airlines' livery on the port side and British Airways' livery on the starboard side. It was used on the [[Heathrow Airport|London]] to Singapore via [[Bahrain International Airport|Bahrain]] service. The service was withdrawn for financial reasons and complaints about noise from the Malaysian government.<ref name=concorde>{{cite web|url=http://www.concordesst.com/history/events/sia.html|title=Singapore Concorde Services|publisher=Concordesst.com|access-date=2018-06-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080819231821/http://www.concordesst.com/history/events/sia.html|archive-date=19 August 2008|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Concorde service by end of the year|url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19771023-1.2.56|website=NewspaperSG|publisher=The Straits Times|date=23 October 1977}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Concorde on last flight|url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/newnation19801030-1.2.21|website=NewspaperSG|publisher=New Nation|date=30 October 1980}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=SIA is one of only a few airlines in the world to have ever operated a Concorde service |url=https://mothership.sg/2017/07/sia-is-one-of-only-a-few-airlines-in-the-world-to-have-ever-operated-a-concorde-service-heres-more/ |access-date=2024-03-09 |website=mothership.sg |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Andrew |date=2024-03-03 |title=Singapore Airlines Concorde: The full story |url=https://mainlymiles.com/2024/03/03/singapore-airlines-concorde-full-story/ |access-date=2024-03-09 |website=Mainly Miles |language=en-US}}</ref>
