Assalaamu'Alaykum,

This reminded me of,
"And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allaah, making their Faith pure for Him only: but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others."
(Soorah al-Ankaboot, Aayah 65)
(There was a footnote for this aayaah which included this,)
There are flights that depart (return) from Leeds Bradford and Glasgow (<- was already in place) to Pakistan, Airbus A310-300,

The turbulence can be very bad compared to the Boeing 777 but Subhaan'Allaah that's when everyone pray's and remembers Allaah.
May Allaah guide us all. Ameen.
Walaykum Salaam.

Subhaan'Allaah!
"And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon vanish from you except Him (Allaah Alone). But when He brings you safe to land, you turn away (from Him). And man is ever ungrateful."
(Soorah al-Israa', Aayah 67)
Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) said in his Tafsir,
Ikimah bin Abi Jahl fled from Allaah's Messenger(at the time) when Makkah was conquered. He rode over the (Red) Sea to cross over to Ethiopia, but (as they preceeded), a heavy stormy wind overtook their boat, and huge waves came to them from all sides, and they thought that ther are encircled therein. The people of the boat said to one another:
"None can save you except Allaah (the Only True God of the heavens and earth). So invoke (call upon) Him (Allaah) (by making your Faith pure for Him Alone and none else) to deliver you safe (from drowning)."
Ikrimah said to himself,
'By Allaah if none can benefit in the sea except Allaah (Alone) then no doubt none can benefit over the land except Allaah (Alone).
O Allaah! I promise You that if You delivered me safe from this, I will go and put my hands in the hands of (Prophet) Muhammad
So they were delivered safe (by Allaah), and returned to their sea-shore and came out of the sea. 'Ikrimah then preceeded to Allaah's Messenger, Muhammad
