Lift

Lift is created by a drop in air pressure that is over the plane's wing.  The wing has a curved top.  When the plane goes forward the pressure of air that rushes over the top of the wing the air pressure drops.   Air in high pressure always moves toward low pressure areas.  In result, the high pressure under the wing moves toward the low pressure over the wing rising the plane.
