If a person breaks their fast, takes off on a plane, and then sees the moon indicating the start of the new Islamic month, they should follow the ruling of their local Islamic authorities or scholars.

In general, the Islamic calendar is based on the sighting of the new moon by a reliable witness or Islamic authority. If the new moon has been sighted by reliable witnesses in the area, it is considered the start of the new month, and the fast for the day has ended. In this case, the person on the plane should break their fast and perform the Maghrib prayer as normal.

However, if the new moon has not been sighted in the area, the person should continue to fast until the end of the day, as they have already broken their fast earlier. They should then perform the Maghrib prayer and continue their fast the following day, in accordance with the start of the new month.
