Given the transposition possibility, they may have just read the Airbus spec sheet wrong, or typed it in wrong on the DL page. (In which case they also didn't cross-check the km/h.)

"Cruising speed:
902 km/h (560.48 mph)"

Though I don't know what altitude that assumes. Service ceiling is darn near 43,000ft!
