This is because of 2 primary reasons:

1. Aircraft use less fuel at higher altitudes, making it more efficient to fly so high.

2. Aircraft can fly faster at higher altitudes due to the air becoming less dense. There is less friction between the air and the skin of the aircraft, so you need less power to reach the same speed in comparison with low altitudes.
