I’m baffled by the amount of airplane risk freak out I’m seeing about this single study, which you will see below, is far far from conclusive plus has an unmasked, actively coughing person as suspect. Always read the full paper and the appendix, and think about the denominator.https://twitter.com/j_g_allen/status/1307283792776826881 …
Though test on arrival isn't enough to eliminate people getting infected the two-three days before they even get on the bus/taxi/terminal part of the trip, let alone the plane ride. Amazing data though, so few infections in the 2nd screening. Only 25 since June 15. Wow. So few.

We don't have a huge amount of incoming traffic to begin with. We're tiny!

I think that one way to read this, is that the folks caught in the 1st screening, are likely to be the ones that infected the ones caught in the second. More or less. That gives insight into the rate of spread during travel, but of course airplanes are only a part.
