If velocity is constant, how can p= f*v be non zero?

If an aeroplane of mass $m$ is flying at a constant speed $v$, the power of the aeroplane is $P = m*v*g$ ($g$ being the acceleration of gravity and therefore: $F = m*g$), but,

if the velocity is constant there is no net force as well as no work is done. But how can the magnitude of power be non zero?
