First time I’ve heard of a super spreader event on an airplane. Have you heard of other examples?

This was before masks were required. Will be interesting to compare to a case with masks on.

"Face masks were neither recommended nor widely used on airplanes in early March, in particular not among travelers from Europe (24–26), who constituted the majority of passengers on flight VN54." hopefully we'll get data from later masked-up flights soon.

Assuming no masks?

If only Peru had a strict lockdown with mandatory masks and face shields, maybe they wouldn't be #1 in Covid-19 deaths per capita... /s

Whatcha wanna bet each of those who caught it on the plane wore a loose mask with gaps letting airflow in/out, or at some point pulled it down in the toilet or my personal fave, wore it under their noses

Likely no masks at all on this flight.

Only way to know? Test every person, every week, no matter what. Only way to reliably estimate asymptomatic cases is to test people who seem fine. Thankfully, colleges with regular testing regimes may end up being nice petri dishes for this.
