Here’s what each of the major U.S. airlines, ride shares, and transit systems have said as of April 19
A Delta Air Lines plane departs Raleigh-Durham International Airport in Morrisville, North Carolina, U.S., on Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022.fter a federal judge in Florida struck down the Biden Administration’s transportation mask mandate on Monday, several major U.S. airlines and transit systems began to ditch their mask requirements nationwide, giving travelers and airline employees their first break from COVID-19 safety restrictions in nearly two years.
Here’s what each of the major U.S. airlines and transit systems have said as of April 19. This list will be updated.The Pacific Northwest giant will not require face masks in U.S. airports and onboard aircrafts, though customers must continue to wear facial coverings on flights both to and from Canada, where a mask mandate remains in effect, the airline said on April 18.
In a statement, Delta acknowledged that despite the change, public health measures are still important and that employees and customers may continue wearing masks if they choose. “Wearing a well-fitting mask—such as a KN95—protects the wearer, even if others around them are not wearing masks, according to our Chief Health Officer Dr. Henry Ting.”
“Customers of course remain free to wear them if they choose,” the airline said in a memo to employees. “This sudden end to the mask mandate may be confusing for some customers… Southwest said it will continue to offer additional layers of protection against the spread of COVID-19, including “sophisticated cabin air ventilation systems” that use HEPA air filtration to remove “at least 99.97% of airborne particles.”The other discount airline—which could soon be owned by Frontier or JetBlue—also announced on Monday that masks are optional.
“The CDC still recommends wearing a mask while on public transit and we encourage customers to make the choice that makes sense for them,” Coach USA and Megabus Vice President Colin Emberson said in a statement. “Please be mindful that masks may still be required while traveling through the bus stations we serve.”
