To further our understanding of disease transmission at airports and on aircraft, it is important to recognize that the airplane flight is just one phase of the overall travel experience and that disease transmission can occur during all phases of the door-to-door experience. This white paper describes the aircraft cabin environment part of the travel experience and how airplane systems work to provide the air you breathe in the aircraft cabin environment. This paper also addresses items that should be considered for aircraft cleaning and disinfection if a significant disease transmission event occurs.
