For travelers on an airplane, Fajr time is when the true dawn appears, and the Fajr time in the city of departure or arrival is not considered. If dawn breaks, prayer becomes obligatory. If they can perform the prayer on the ground before sunrise, they should wait. Otherwise, they should pray on the airplane according to their ability. And whoever does not pray it on the airplane out of negligence must repent, seek forgiveness, and make up the prayer immediately.
