Avram > man is davening shacharis on a plane.

You should evaluate first whether there might be a problem. I once was on an elderly and fully booked Al Italia (O’H) flight with no good place to daven and unfriendly looking personnel. I could have stood in the corner semi-blocking the path and would possibly be able to resist pushing until finishing shmone esre. Instead, I went up to them and asked whether they can help me find a place to pray. They turned out to be good Polish Catholics and paskened “this plane needs some prayers” and organized a quite place for me well beyond my expectations.

BTW, Eliyahu recognizes the problem and says that you should not pray in the ruins, and rather daven “tefila ktzira” (Brachos ~ 6)
