that was only one factor and not the biggest
major factor was sonic booms were made illegal over densely populated areas of the usa by civillian aircraft, it essentially shut down the concorde flying into the us major airports
just the regular noise of these engines was much louder than normal jets at the time
other factor was ticket price
