Because the cabin pressure of the plane causes drowsiness.

|
|
Because flying at high altitudes causes you to breath thinner air making it difficult to get oxygen into your blood stream.
|
|
|
Because internal circadian rhythms do not match external environmental cues.

|
Because moving at high speeds causes your body work harder to pump blood which can induce tiredness.

Detailed explanation-1: -Jet lag results from a misalignment between the internal circadian clock and the external environment as a result of rapid travel across multiple time zones. Similar to shift work, not all travelers will experience jet lag or meet the criteria for the CRSD, jet lag disorder.
Detailed explanation-2: -A disruption to your circadian rhythms Jet lag can occur anytime you cross two or more time zones. Crossing multiple time zones puts your internal clock out of sync with the time in your new locale. Your internal clock, also called circadian rhythms, regulates your sleep-wake cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -During jet lag, abrupt shifts in the environmental light–dark cycle temporarily desynchronize the SCN and downstream oscillatory networks from each other, resulting in increased sleepiness and impaired daytime functioning.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rapid air travel across several time zones exposes the traveller to a shift in his/her internal biological clock. The result is a transient desynchronisation of the circadian rhythm, called jet lag, lasting until the rhythm is rephased to the new environmental conditions.
