Vne. Speed a pilot is never to exceed in an aircraft. Every craft has a different set of V speeds.

V Speeds

I know jack shit about flying anything other then single engine prop planes. But I'd hazard a guess there no way that Airbus could get anywhere near Mach 1. Well, maybe vertically headed down.

Edit: Looks like max airspeed for the Airbus is 615. Mach 1 is 750, I think I'm not looking it up. That's a little closer then I thought. With a throttles full open and a tail wind maybe it could get damn close to the speed of sound.
