Jet (and turboprop) turbine engines work more efficiently, and burn less fuel, at higher altitudes where the air is less dense. While this may appear strange, the economic logic behind it is quite straightforward. Hence, the flight will use less fuel at higher altitudes. All of this hardware needs to be accommodated somewhere.
