Both are in opposite direction,so consider one velocity in negative direction. Velocity of jet w.r.t. ground Vjg= 500 km/h …...(Upward) Velocity of products relative to jet VPJ = 1500 km/h ...

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?

The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
