On the most basic level, hot weather affects air travel the way it affects most things: it makes people uncomfortable and wears them down. Aerodynamically, warmer air is less dense than cooler air, meaning that in hot weather a wing produces less lift. Jet engines don’t like this low-density air either, producing less thrust.
