Both Southwest and American Airlines are doing away with mask exemptions and will now require all passengers over the age of two to wear them.
The main reason behind the change in policy is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among asymptomatic carriers, according to a. The only time masks or face coverings may be removed at the airport or on-board the aircraft is when the customer is eating or drinking. Anyone who refuses to comply with this policy at any time throughout their journey could be barred from all future travel for the duration of the face-covering requirement.
Southwest Airlines will be implementing a similar face-covering policy on July 27, requiring all customers over the age of 2 to mask up at every stage of the travel process from check-in to baggage claim, except for the “very brief” instances when the customer is eating or drinking. Southwest encourages customers to bring their own masks but says they will have some available at airports upon request.
