Demo:

To create the CSS Plane Animation follow the steps below and watch the video tutorial:

1. Add HTML
2. Add CSS
3. Add CSS Animation

Step1.

Add HTML

<div class="airplaneAnimation">
  <div class="plane">
  <div class="main"></div>
  <div class="wingOne"></div>
  <div class="wingTwo"></div>
  <div class="pollution"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="clouds">
    <div class="cloudOne"></div>
    <div class="cloudTwo"></div>

Step2.

Add CSS

Set the colour and the position of the background and elements:

body {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;  
}

.airplaneAnimation {
  position: relative; 
  width:400px;
  height:400px;
  border-radius:50%;
  background-color: #caf0f8;
  overflow: hidden;
}

Style the plane:

.plane {
  position: relative;
  left:0;
  top:75px;
  animation: fly 2s linear infinite;
}

.main {
  position: absolute;
  width: 220px;
  height: 40px;
  background-color: #0077b6;
  top:100px;
  left:100px;
  border-radius: 0 100px 30px 100px; 
  overflow:hidden;
  box-shadow: inset -10px -10px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index:2;
}

.main:before, .main:after {
  content:"";
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #fdc921;
  top:10px;
}

.main:before {
  width:40px;
  height:10px;
  border-radius: 0 0 0 30px;
  left: 190px;
}

.main:after {
  width: 5px;
  height: 10px;
  border-radius:20px;
  left:160px;
  box-shadow: -10px 0 #fdc921,-20px 0 #fdc921, -30px 0 #fdc921, -40px 0 #fdc921, -50px 0 #fdc921, -60px 0 #fdc921, -70px 0 #fdc921, -80px 0 #fdc921, -90px 0 #fdc921, -100px 0 #fdc921, -110px 0 #fdc921, -120px 0 #fdc921;
}

.wingOne {
  position: absolute;
  width:20px;
  border-right: 20px solid transparent;
  border-left: 20px solid transparent;
  border-top: 80px solid #0077b6;
  height:0;
  top:115px;
  left:160px;
  transform: skew(-45deg) rotateX(30deg);
  z-index:4;
}

.wingTwo {
  position: absolute;
  width:20px;
  border-right: 20px solid transparent;
  border-left: 20px solid transparent;
  border-bottom: 80px solid #023e8a;
  height:0;
  top:55px;
  left:160px;
  transform: skew(45deg) rotateX(30deg);
}

.wingTwo:after {
  content:"";
  position: absolute; 
  width:20px;
  border-right: 15px solid transparent;
  border-left: 15px solid transparent;
  border-bottom: 35px solid #0077b6;
  height:0;
  left:-100px;
  top:29px;
}

.wingOne:after {
  content:"";
  position: absolute; 
  width:20px;
  height:25px;
  background-color: #0077b6;
  top:-105px;
  left:-140px;
  box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}

.wingTwo:before {
  content:"";
  position: absolute; 
  width:20px;
  height:25px;
  background-color: #023e8a;
  left:-80px;
  top:35px;
  transform: skew(-55deg);
}

Add clouds:

.clouds {
  position: absolute;
  top:50px;
  left:100px;
}

.cloudOne, .cloudTwo, .cloudThree {
  position: absolute;
  width: 50px;
  height: 25px;
  background-color: #fff;
  border-radius:100px 100px 0 0;
}

.cloudOne {
  top:0;
  left:0;
  animation: cloud 3s linear infinite reverse;
}

.cloudTwo {
  top:50px;
  left:100px;
  animation: cloud 2.5s linear infinite reverse;
}

.cloudThree {
  top:250px;
  left:50px;
  animation: cloud 2.8s linear infinite reverse;
}

.cloudOne:before, .cloudTwo:before, .cloudThree:before {
  content:"";
  position: absolute;
  width: 25px;
  height: 12.5px;
  background-color: #fff;
  border-radius:100px 100px 0 0;
  left:-20px;
  top:12.5px;
  box-shadow: 65px 0 #fff;
}

Add airplane pollution:

.pollution {
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #fff;
  top: 130px;
  left: 65px;
  width: 30px;
  height: 10px;
  border-radius: 20px;
  opacity: 0;
  animation: up 1s linear infinite;
}

.pollution:before, .pollution:after {
  content:"";
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #fff;
  border-radius:20px;
  opacity:0;
  width:30px;
  height:10px;
}
.pollution:after {
  top: 10px;
  left: -25px;
  animation: up 2s linear infinite;
}
.pollution:before {
  top: -10px;
  left: -35px;
  animation: up 3s linear infinite;
 
}

Step3.

Add CSS Animation

To make the plane move up and down:

@keyframes fly {
  0% {transform: translateY(0);}
  25% {transform: translateY(-10px);}
  50% {transform: translateY(0);}
  75% {transform: translateY(10px);}
  100% {transform: translateY(0);}
}

For clouds:

@keyframes cloud {  
  from{ 
    left:-150px; 
  }
  to{ 
    left: 400px; 
  }
}

For airplane pollution:

@keyframes up { 
    20% {opacity: 0.7;}
    35% {left: 100px opacity: 0.7;}
    70% {left: 70px  opacity: 0;} 
  }
