We have established no such thing. The plane will travel forward relative to the ground, relative to the air, and at twice that rate relative to the conveyor.
I think you need to read the thread again.

Since the conveyor is matching the speed of the plane, once those speeds have been matched, an outside observer most certainly does view the plane as being stationary.
