MIT Study: Covid-19 mortality risks to air travelers probably less than one in one million.
Jul 12, 2020
A recent MIT study found that the marginal chance an individual could become mortally infected with COVID-19 on a passenger flight is cut by 50% when the airline blocks the middle seat. The study (which can be found via the link below), stated:
"Recent research results and data generate the approximation that, when all coach seats are full on a US jet aircraft, the risk of contracting Covid-19 from a nearby passenger is currently about 1 in 7,000. Under the middle seat empty policy, that risk falls to about 1 in 14,000. Risks are lower in flights that are not full. These estimates imply Covid-19 mortality risks to uninfected air travelers are higher than those associated with plane crashes but probably less than one in one million."
