How does air make an airplane work?

Air will help it fly, without air it cannot fly

The wing must have air to fly. As the wing passes through the air at a sufficiently high speed, a pressure difference is created between the top of the wing and the bottom. Pressure on the top is lower than the pressure on the bottom. The airplane is actually sucked into the sky. The control surfaces also require the passage of sufficient amounts of air in order to be effective. Without air, the plane's engine wouldn't work. But even if it (engine) did work, the plane still wouldn't fly. The engine would have no air to interact with, to develop thrust, and the wing would have no air to create the required pressure difference.
