At about 30,000 feet, the air is thinner and the aircraft has little resistance at that height, because of that little resistance the plane can fly much further

Why do jet planes normally fly in the statosphere?

Jet planes normally fly in the stratosphere because the air is thinner at higher altitudes, which reduces drag on the aircraft and allows it to operate more efficiently. Additionally, flying at this altitude helps to avoid bad weather conditions and turbulence commonly found in the lower atmosphere.
