Airline passengers are more at risk of catching coronavirus if they sit in a window seat, a study found, contradicting the widely held belief that those in aisle seats would be more exposed.The findings come from a detailed analysis of passengers on a Qantas flight in March during which as many as 11 people were infected.

The study also indicated that passengers in the middle of the economy section of the Airbus A330 aircraft were more likely to catch the virus than those in the rear. Sitting within two rows of an infected person was also a risk factor.
