The ruling on a traveler breaking his fast in an airplane

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If a man travels in an airplane, does he also break his fast?

Answer:

And if you are ill or on a journeyوَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
