Planes need air to give lift to the wings.
Oh yes, and stars are very, very far away. Big, but far.
Planes, small but close.

Planes don't fly into stars because stars are too high for the planes to reach.

In 1604 Johannes Kepler flew a plane into a star and it caused a supernova. That was the last time that it ever happened because the FAA passed a rule that all planes have to be equipped with an S.A.S. or "Star Avoidance System."
Because of this, there have not been any supernovas in our galaxy since 1604.

Planes can't fly that high. We cannot even reach the nearest star with our space ships, so how could a plane fly billions of miles and bump into one? Think about what you are asking before you ask it and it might stop you from sounding silly.

Well I can't answer this question scientifically like the above guy but I guess the simplest answer is that planes stay in orbit around the earth within the earth's atmosphere and stars are way off, millions and more miles away.

Because stars are millions of light years away. Planes on the other hand are only 30000 feet from the earth. It's like wondering why birds don't bump into fish.

Because there is no planes that can carry that much fuel to fly that far. Plus you special aircraft to fly in that atmosphere. Normal aircraft probably just float in the galaxy once they get out of the earth's atmosphere.

The stars only come out at night so daytime flights are no problem.
At night the stars dodge them.
