“Yes, the CDC will probably ‘come clean’ about risks involved in planes and especially plane bathrooms... soon...”

You can not sanitize, let alone sterilize an aircraft interior.

You can, however, sanitize a commercial kitchen. There are specific codes for what can and can not be in a commercial kitchen. All hard surfaces, and mostly stainless stel.

Aircraft interiors have all kinds of nooks and crannies, soft, absorbent surfaces, and catch areas that can hold spilled liquids for days. Cleaners can wipe the hard surfaces, but they do not even hit all of those.

By comparison, subway cars are more “cleanable” , but I have never seen cleaning crews doing thorough cleaning of them.

BTW Hydrogen Peroxide will safely sanitize fabrics, and soft absorbent surfaces. Drying might take a while, but no big deal.
You can also fumigate with it to get into nooks and crannies. It has been studied and proven an effective sanitizer. http://www.absa.org/abj/abj/051002meszaros.pdf
