When researchers collected hundreds of samples of 10 flights in 2019, they noted in their study published inMicrobial ecologythat the most abundant bacteria both in the air and on the surfaces were Propionibacteriaceae , which can cause acne.

However, these conclusions, in particular, are generally nothing to crack. As researchers wrote, "the vast majority of microbes associated with aircraft are ... non-pathogenic".

Streptococcaceae
