1996: Fastest Flight Across the Atlantic in a Commercial Aircraft Concorde began commercial flight operations on 21 January 1976, with Flight BA300 from London Heathrow, UK, to Bahrain, piloted by Captain Norman Todd. The aircraft enjoyed a cruising speed of 1,350 mph (2,172 km/h), or Mach 2 – more than twice the speed of sound. That’s faster than the rate at which the Earth rotates, and – like Superman – faster than a speeding bullet. Unsurprisingly, Concorde halved the travel times achieved by its competitors.
