Normal glass has low transmission for UV-B and UV-C, but significant transmission of UV-A. This in combination with high altitudes (so less atmosphere) and also simple thermal heating, could already explain this.

Perhaps aircraft should add an UV-A blocking layer to their windows?

I don't think increased radiation levels would contribute differentially to skin cancer, because we're talking about gamma rays.
