Airplanes are pressurized at high altitudes because the air pressure outside the cabin decreases significantly, making it difficult for passengers to breathe comfortably and risking hypoxia. Pressurization ensures a safe and comfortable environment by maintaining a stable air pressure and oxygen levels similar to those experienced at lower altitudes. This helps passengers and crew avoid altitude-related health issues while allowing the aircraft to operate efficiently in the thinner atmosphere.
