Can a planet be so near to a star that anything flying above a certain height would start melting or combusting?

Its a very wip idea: I have a star that's not very hot, and the planet is very close to it. Can the planet be so close to the star to be livable on the surface, but flying at cruise height(10 km) would mean melting or burning. And if yes? How close? And how hot should it be?

The sizes of the sun is roughly half of the sun, the same applies to the planet (half the size of earth). If any information is needed just ask.

Since this is probably impossible in real sience, let's not be stopped from that. Its a universe with huge wormholes and object faster than light, so bending the physics a little more won't hurt. The size of both object can be changed too if needed
