Aeroplanes (or airplane) were a form of transport that travelled in the air. Whilst in flight, passengers were cared for by air stewardesses. (TV: Logopolis)
The Fifth Doctor "expected" to be able to fly a plane, and would have managed to do so properly had the Daleks not attacked the craft. (AUDIO: Fugitives) The Eleventh Doctor was due for a lesson in flying a bi-plane in 1911. However, it may have in fact been a knitting lesson. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut) Despite this, he couldn't fly a plane at all. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)
History

Aeroplanes were finally invented by the Wright Brothers in the early 20th century. Lethbridge-Stewart's father could remember reading about their first flight. (PROSE: The Dying Days) By 1904, the brothers had "barely flown sixty feet yet". (PROSE: Gudok)
In 1932, Japanese aircraft launched from the aircraft carrier Hosho attacked Shanghai. In 1937, they used Mitsubishi Ki-15s and Mitsubishi A5Ms on air raids against China. (PROSE: The Shadow of Weng-Chiang)
In 1941, Edwin Bracewell used gravity bubbles on modified Spitfires, sending them into space. There they disabled the Dalek flying saucer's transmitter. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)
In 1964, a light aircraft nearly collided with the TARDIS, which had materialised in mid-air over Alaska. (AUDIO: The Land of the Dead)
The same year, a plane which left New York City with a crew of eleven and hundreds of passengers landed in London with no-one aboard, not even the pilot. The matter was investigated by Professor Rachel Jensen of the Intrusion Countermeasures Group. (AUDIO: State of Emergency)
In 1966, Chameleon Tours operated select flights from Gatwick Airport. They kidnapped passengers, taking them to a space station, and putting them in suspended animation whilst miniaturised. They were then replaced by Chameleons. (TV: The Faceless Ones)
In the 1970s, UNIT deployed an RAF air strike that destroyed the Krynoid at Chase Mansion. (TV: The Seeds of Doom)

In the 21st century, the Sky Gypsy came through the Cardiff Space-Time Rift. It carried Diane Holmes, John Ellis, and Emma-Louise Cowell. Diane attempted to return through it by flying again in the same conditions. (TV: Out of Time)
In 2013, Miss Kizlet, who had control of all of humanity through the Wi-Fi, made everyone on an aeroplane, including the pilot, fall asleep, and the plane came crashing down towards George Maitland's house.
