Those are contrails.
The jet engine exhaust gases consist of carbon dioxide and water vapour.
At high altitudes the wator vapour gets released in a very cold environment. This can cause the air to be saturated with water vapour and then condenses. If cold enough the condense can freeze into white droplets. This forms the contrails.
