Best Answer

Yes, however high temperatures have an adverse effect on the performance of the aircraft.

Hot weather will reduce the amount of thrust produced by the engines as well as reducing the amount of lift produced by the wings. For this reason, in very hot weather the pilot will often try to reduce the gross weight of the aircraft by taking on less fuel or cargo and in extreme cases may have to cancel the flight altogether.
