Yes, passenger planes can refuel mid-air, but this practice is primarily used for military aircraft and cargo planes rather than commercial passenger flights. The process, known as air-to-air refueling, involves one aircraft transferring fuel to another while both are in flight. While technically possible for passenger planes, it poses significant logistical, safety, and regulatory challenges, which is why it is not implemented in commercial aviation.
