    1380 kph west

    Explanation:

    The resultant velocity is the sum of airplane velocity with respect to air and the velocity of wind with respect to ground. Since these 2 vectors are in opposite direction (east vs west), we will take the 20 kph east as negative

    1400 west + 20 east = 1400 west + (-20) west = 1380 kph west.
