Planes typically all fly at the same altitude or height. So they need to coordinate that height. The reason for this is planes get the best fuel economy at this height. Helicopters are short range and not as many in the air with their height typically adjusting to the situation. Also helicopters can hover. Planes cannot they can’t stop moving forward or they fall.
