An airplane flies by a combo of:

Lift created by the wing: The wing has a specific shape, that lets air flow evenly over and under the wing, producing lift that keeps the plane in the air.

Forward motion generated by thrust from the engines/propellers.

Control over the plane is kept by the elevators,ailerons, and the rudder. The ailerons and rudder assist in turning the plane left/right, and the elevators assist in increasing/decreasing the pitch of the nose (angle of the airplane).
