It seems you really already know the answer to that question. It can't be determined. Good educated guesses, maybe, and the fact that they believe there are 30 other cases associated with the church group on that flight no doubt fuels those guesses, but that's not proof.

Since we're all guessing, would we guess that the Korean church group was infected while on the trip to Israel, or that one or more of them was already infected before going to Israel? I guess they could all have been infected after returning and the FA infected somewhere/somewhen else, but that's probably not a smart bet.

The mathematics wizards who model the projected spread of infectious diseases rely heavily upon air travel connections and traffic (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020...l-hard-predict). I expect we'll be learning more about KAL's recent flights.
