Alaska Airlines announced Monday that wearing masks on its planes will be optional, following a federal judge voiding the requirement that masks be worn on all public transit.
for public transportation in January 2021, Alaska Airlines had its mask requirement in place for nearly two years.
The company’s statement also addressed what will happen to people who were banned from flying over not complying with the previous mask policy. “Throughout the last two years, we have relied on reporting from agents and flight attendants to ban noncompliant guests from traveling while the federal mask policy remained in effect,” the statement reads. “Based on our reports, we will have some guests whose behavior was particularly egregious who will remain banned, even after the mask policy is rescinded.”
In its statement, Alaska Airlines said the company is “confident we will be ready to respond if faced with another COVID wave or even a new virus.”
