Horizon dip computed at a 10.6 km cruise altitude — the sun appears earlier and sets later than at ground level.
Prayer times & qibla in the air
Which prayers fall during the flight, in both local clocks, and the qibla direction relative to the aircraft heading.
No prayer falls during this flight for the chosen departure and method.
