The ruling on one who breaks his fast at the airport and then sees the sun in the air

Question:
A man told me that he broke his fast at the Riyadh airport on the plane, and when the plane ascended into the sky, they saw the sun red and not yet set. What is the ruling on his breaking his fast?
Answer:
It appears that his breaking his fast is valid; because he broke his fast with the setting of the sun in his country, he is like one who travels from the east after the sun has set until he reaches a country in the west where the sun has not set, so his fast is valid; because he ended up in a high atmosphere that is not his atmosphere, but another atmosphere that is not his, so his breaking his fast does not harm him, so he is one who has validly broken his fast, and his fast is valid.
So if he travels, for example, from Jeddah and has broken his fast, and arrives in Sham or Egypt and the sun has not set; then his fast is valid, and so on: like one who travels from Tunisia after the sun has set while having broken his fast, and arrives in Algeria or Morocco and the sun has not set; then his fast is valid, his day has ended.
