478 vs 588 kts...

God Evening My Gentlemens,
I was flying (A330....again....) the last year and on the monitors it
first said info: s in Metres and KM/H and later Feet and MPH...
BUt the funny thing is that it said we were flying at 1089 km/h wich
is about 588 knt. And when you got the MPH info it said 550 MPH and that¨s
about 888 km/h=478 knt...So is the GS 478 knt and the TAS 588 knt?
So we were flying at 478 knt but we had a headwind at 110 knots?
I'm not getting surpriced if it was that kind of strong winds, cause the flight
landed many minutes late....
Thanks!
