A Norwegian 787 Dreamliner has set the record for the fastest ever transatlantic flight in a subsonic passenger plane
A flight from NY to London has broken the record for the fastest-ever transatlantic passenger journey in a subsonic aircraft. As long as you don't count Concorde.
A Norwegian Air flight broke transatlantic records on Monday when it flew from New York City to London in just five hours and 13 minutes.
Norwegian, Europe's third largest low-priced carrier, operates double daily flights between London and NY using the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
It benefitted from strong tailwinds over the Atlantic Ocean that reached a maximum of 176 knots (202 mph), with the aircraft hitting a top speed of 776mph during the flight. The fastest Concorde flight from NY to London came on 7 February 1996, when it crossed the pond in just shy of 2 hours and 53 minutes, according to British Airways.
Van Dam said the flight would have been quicker if it hadn't been for some turbulence.
Norwegian allots six and a half hours for the flight service, meaning that passengers on Monday's flight arrived in London more than an hour early.

The flight carrying 284 passengers departed NY at 11:44 and arrived at London at 21:57 - 53 minutes early.
However, the fastest ever transatlantic crossing by a passenger plane was in February 1996, when a British Airways Concorde flight from NY to London took just two hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds.
Captain Pascal Niewold came close to breaking the record a day before.
But conditions were set for it to be challenged this week as the powerful jet stream brought high winds across much of northern Europe.
And Captain Niewold added: 'The passengers and crew were very pleasantly surprised that we were already landing in London.
