This means that if you encounter these conditions on a particular day, you would need to achieve a higher true airspeed to produce the same lift that would be generated at lower airspeeds in denser air. Consider taking less fuel, cargo, or passengers when operating into high-density airfields.

With jet cruise true airspeeds between 400 and 500 kts, this has a big effect on ground speed, and therefore on cruise performance and efficiency. Corporate and cargo operators will have different schedules, but need to consider this as it affects their flight planning.
