NO!! WRONG!! Take it from a pilot, a passenger plane can not go that fast!! For one, it is physically and aerodynamically impossible. The closest a Passenger plane ghas come are The BAe Concorde and the TU-144 Kondorski. And even then, they only went slightly over 750mph. (Notice that they no longer fly due to fatalities/accidents) A passenger plane, depending on size and weight can travel anywhere fomr 350~575 mph, and 575 is defenetly pushing it! On average, 510 mph will do it.

If you're talking about ground speed, it's possible with a good tailwind. Fastest I've ever gone is 890mph.
In terms of airspeed, then that's supersonic speed, and no passenger plane currently in service goes that fast. Last one was the Concorde.

yes, the Tu-144LL with Kuznetsov RD-36-51 engine and the Concorde but that's probably it. most travel around 500 mph
