Is it permissible for the flight crew to break their fast in Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question we received from one of the brothers. He says: Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve you), we love you for the sake of Allah, we make du'a for you, and we follow your fatwas. May Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslim community. I am part of the work team on a flight crew. So how do I fast, Shaykh, during the month of Ramadan while traveling between two countries in Morocco, where the flights continue for long periods?

Answer:
If the air travel covers the distance for shortening the prayer, which is eighty kilometers or more, then you may break your fast, because this is travel. But if the distance is less than that, it is not permissible for you to break your fast, because you are considered to be a resident of the town. Yes.
