With accurate contact tracing in place, how is somebody travelling on a flight from Brisbane to Perth any more risky in terms of COVID spread than somebody travelling from Brisbane to Cairns or Perth to Broome?
I would'nt say there is any more or less risk, the issue is "when" the virus arrives. The airlines are parked up because of operational risk, not because they care if you get infected. Trying to keep things moving when you lose one or two crew members is a problem, particularly if those crew members are not in their own home base at the time. You end up with aircraft stuck on the ground all over the place until the whole operation comes to a grinding halt.
