It's used in all kinds of commercial flights in piston aircraft.
It's uncommon in airliner flights because it's expensive and causes increased wear and tear in turbines.

Firstly, turbine not jet. And not only can they but it is in the maintenance manual and the POH/TO for the aircraft.
A plane I flew had this very limitation. 100 hours of operation on 100LL.
