I will be on the plane during Iftar time of Ramdan on 21st November. To break the fast by iftar, should I follow the local time of departing station or time of next station?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

In principle, the time for Iftaar (breaking fast) is sunset. You should make
Iftaar wherever you witness sunset, whether at the departing station or even
while on the plane. The departing or arriving station is not a criteria for
Iftaar. The criteria is sunset.
