May be he was praying for a safe travel or flight. Some people ( no matter which religion they follow) will pray before they do something. He wanted to be discreet thus praying at the back instead of doing it whilst sitting - so that his seat mates won't be alarmed (or paranoid like the mishap in YUL awhile ago)
