A British Airways plane has broken the record for the fastest flight between New York and London, reaching over 1287 miles per hour.
The plane "Boeing 747] flew through the night between Saturday and Sunday and reached its destination in four hours and 56 minutes, while the Ciara storm had turned to the United Kingdom.
The flight was much faster than usual with the wind exceeding the speed of 321 km per hour, experts said.
The plane landed at the Heathrow airport at 4:43 minutes, almost two hours earlier than planned.
Its maximum flight speed was 1327 km per hour according to Flight24, an online flight tracking service.
The platform estimates that the average time a plane needs to travel the distance between London and New York is six hours and 13 minutes. But the British Airways plane did this for two hours less by breaking the record of an Airbus A 3505050, whose flight at the same distance had lasted several more minutes. /tch
