How does 'Mile High Club' fit into the greater plot of the Modern Warfare franchise?

This mission has remarkably little context compared to the expansive campaigns and characters in the rest of the Modern Warfare franchise. The theme of the mission is replicated in Modern Warfare 3's mission 'Turbulence'. Apart from that, there's no clear relation to the rest of the series.
