Some airlines ban passengers from future flights if they refuse to wear a mask. A couple don't accept medical exemptions.
Devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic, some U.S. airlines are hoping to put potential passengers at ease by imposing tougher rules for mask wearing, including threats of banning fliers who refuse to cover their faces.
“Our tougher policy shows how important this issue is to us and our guests,” Max Tidwell, Alaska Airlines’ vice president of safety and security, said in a statement Wednesday. “If you don’t wear a mask, you won’t be flying with us.” Other carriers, such as Hawaiian, JetBlue and Southwest, have not posted on their website the consequences of flouting the face-covering policy.
“Our policy is meant to offer the strongest level of protection for everyone given all that we currently know about how COVID-19 is transmitted,” JetBlue spokesman Philip Stewart said.
