Depends on the engine(s). A jet or turboprop uses a form of kerosene, sometimes called Jet-A, Avtur, and several different names depending on the precise formulation - all kerosene, though.
A piston-engined aircraft uses Avgas, a high quality, high octane form of gasoline/petrol.
Hope that helps.
Most commercial aircraft are either jet or turboprop, so in general you could say that kerosene is the fuel most commonly used.

I assume that when you say Commercial Plane you mean Airliner? If so airliners used what is known as JetA Fuel, a type of fuel that is a very similar to kerosene

It depends on the type of airplane. Large commercial jets use Type A Jet fuel.

I think most jets use JP-8 now. When i first was in the USAF we used JP-4 then latter switched to JP-8. Its like kerosene and is not the best smelling stuff either. hope this helps.

Jets use jet gasoline, it is basically about comparable to kerosene. Piston-powered airplane use slightly leaded aviation gasoline formulated enormously for airplane engines.

my teacher told me that it's aviation fuel. They are the longest to extract from the crude oil. I think only one kind of aviation fuel can be extracted from crude so i guess you can call it aviation fuel even if you are refering to different kinds of aircrafts.
Just so you know, the process for the extraction is fractional distillation.

Probably Jet-A. It is suitable for both turboprop and turbojet aircraft. It is sort of a kerosene.
