Jet engines don’t like this low-density air either, producing less thrust. What all of that means for travelers is that your flight might be weight-restricted and unable to take a full load of people or cargo. Aerodynamically, warmer air is less dense than cooler air, meaning that in hot weather a wing produces less lift.
