الرحلات الجوية الفاخرة
Explanation:
Concorde is the world's only supersonic passenger aircraft. Concorde holds many world records, including fastest crossing of the Atlantic from New York to London in less than 3 hours.
The supersonic flights are the most expensive flights available nowadays and its operation yields the highest revenue. The industry term for these flights is “premium traffic”. Based on this definition, the translation would be “الرحلات الجوية الفاخرة”

agree  Stephen Franke: Agree. The adjective "faakhira" in this context definitely equates to "premium, supreme, magnificent or outstanding." As the kind poster below mentions, that category of travel service is expensive.
