Because the air is very thin at the altitude they fly. The average passenger jet has a causing altitude of about 30,000 to 40,000 feet. At this altitude humans can't breathe very well and our body gets less oxygen.

Airplanes typically fly at an altitude of about 10,000 meters. At this altitude the atmospheric pressure is significantly less than it is at sea-level. Because of this, airplane cabins must be pressurized
