Aircraft can travel faster at 1000 km/hr. Bullet trains travel at maximum 400 km/hr or less. Hyper loop trains may perhaps cross 600 km/hr.

Aircraft are simply designed to go faster, they are far more aerodynamic, and have propulsion systems designed for speed. True airspeed: as altitude increases, air density decreases, creating less friction.
In 2014, there were 990 plane-related deaths, but only 21 fatal airliner accidents. That's an average of 47 deaths per flight. So if you think of accidents in terms of how deadly they are of average, then flying would be significantly more deadly than riding a train.
Trenitalia's Paris to Milan route was first introduced in December 2021, serviced by Hitachi Rail's ETR1000. This super high speed train travels at 300km/h - with the ability to go400km/h if not limited by track regulations - making it the fastest train in Europe.
1: Shanghai Maglev - 460 kph/286 mph (China)The world's fastest public train is also unique – it's the only link in the world currently carrying passengers using magnetic levitation (Maglev) rather than conventional steel wheels on steel rails.
The high-speed rail (HSR) network in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is the world's longest and most extensively used – with a total length of 42,000 kilometres (26,000 mi) by the end of 2022. The HSR network encompasses newly built rail lines with a design speed of 200–350 km/h (120–220 mph).
While most Shinkansen currently operate at a maximum of 300 kph (186 mph), the E5 “Bullet Trains” of Japan Railways East (JR East) run at up to 320 kph (200 mph) on the Tohoku Shinkansen, which runs north from Tokyo to Shin-Aomori.
How fast are high-speed trains in Italy? High-speed trains in Italy can reach speeds of up to 400 km/h (248 mph). The fastest Italian high-speed train reaching that speed is the modern Frecciarossa 1000, which connects the main cities, including Turin, Milan, Florence, Rome, Naples and Salerno.
They can reach a top speed of 300 kilometres per hour (that's 186 miles per hour) on high-speed lines in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.
How fast are high-speed trains in Europe? High-speed trains in Europe can reach speeds of up to 198 mph (320 km/h). Some of the fastest trains in Europe travelling at these speeds include AVE, TGV and Frecciarossa 1000.
Inclement weather is not something you should worry about when looking at a train schedule. Unlike planes that cannot takeoff in some instances, a train will run in bad weather. The biggest danger to trains are downed trees and power lines from a storm that would block the tracks.
Airplane Safety. Airplanes are by far the safest mode of transportation when the number of transported passengers are measured against personal injuries and fatality totals, even though all plane crashes generally receive some form of media attention. ...
When it comes to overall safety, flying is generally considered the safest way to travel. This is backed up by data from the past 10 years, which shows that there have been far fewer fatalities involving airplanes than buses and trains. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that buses and trains are less safe.
