No. Jet engines draw oxygen from the atmosphere to mix and burn with jet fuel, and cannot function in a vacuum. Rockets carry their own oxygen, and can travel in the vacuum of space.

Why rocket fly in space instead of air?

Rockets work in space because they carry their own fuel and do not require oxygen from the air to burn it. In the vacuum of space, rockets create thrust by expelling mass at high speeds through their engines, propelling them forward. This makes them independent of the presence of air for propulsion.
