Air France Flight 002, a Concorde, was en route from Paris to New York with a block altitude clearance from FL450 to FL600. Just after passing 50 degrees West, the flight crew reported that they had shut down the number three engine. The crew did not declare an emergency and requested and received a clearance to FL280. After reaching the Moncton FIR, the crew declared a PAN and requested and received a clearance to divert to Halifax. The aircraft landed safely at 13:08 UTC without further incident. Further investigation revealed that the crew had shutdown the engine after noticing a higher than normal fuel flow. Maintenance inspection revealed that a fuel line had ruptured.
