In a difference study, CDC demonstrated transmission in aircraft to a passenger who wore an N95 mask, EXCEPT when she used the bathroom that had been used by an asymptomatic passenger. She was seated 3 rows away from the asymptomatic passenger. https://bit.ly/3otnmyl 
There's also the CDC report on a March super-spreading event on a 10-hour London to Hanoi flight that led to 16 Infections due to what is thought to be airborne transmission on an aircraft: https://bit.ly/2IYFekr
