Air travel hasn't been completely grounded during the pandemic and there are flights to and from Vancouver recently where they've had to warn the public about potential exposures.

The BCCDC posts flights where they've identified a case of COVID-19 in someone on board — the month's not over yet but already there are quite a few.

There were 11 international flights with cases identified onboard ranging from cities like San Francisco and Mexico City to Frankfurt and Chengdu.
