British Airways has recorded its fastest ever transatlantic flight after a plane flew from New York to London in just four hours and 56 minutes.

The Boeing 747 hurtled across the Atlantic at more than 800mph on the back of Storm Ciara's 200mph winds before touching down at Heathrow at 4.48am today.

It is thought to have set a new record for subsonic passenger planes as its time exceeds the current record of a Norwegian Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner which made the crossing in five hours and 13 minutes.

Um...yeah. Apparently It’s a worldwide phenomenon that reporters aren’t required to be proficient in language. :rolleyes:
