Ice will sometimes form on an aeroplane, especially on the wings. As a plane flies higher the air around it becomes cooler and can go below the melting point of ice - zero degrees centigrade or 32degrees Fahrentheit. Another factor is the humidity of the air - how much water vapour it contains. Higher humidity would help the formation of ice.
