Why is the flight altitude of aircraft with air-jet engines limited?

Jet engines run on a mixture of fuel and air taken from the atmosphere. The higher from the surface of the earth, the lower the air pressure, in addition, the lower the oxygen content required for the combustion process. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is very small, and the oxygen content in it is low, so the engine may simply not have enough oxygen for the combustion process.
