Please note face masks may still be required based on local ordinances, or when traveling to\/from certain international locations based on country requirements. In keeping with our commitment to creating a welcoming environment for everyone who travels with us, customers and team members may choose to continue to wear masks at their own discretion.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>United Airlines:<\/strong> \u201cEffective immediately, masks are no longer required at United on domestic flights, select international flights (dependent upon the arrival country\u2019s mask requirements) or at U.S. airports. While this means that our employees are no longer required to wear a mask \u2013 and no longer have to enforce a mask requirement for most of the flying public \u2013 they will be able to wear masks if they choose to do so, as the CDC continues to strongly recommend wearing a mask on public transit. We will continue to closely monitor the situation in the event of changes.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delta Air Lines:<\/strong> \u201cEffective immediately, masks are optional for all airport employees, crew members and customers inside U.S. airports and onboard aircraft. Delta employees and customers may continue wearing masks if they so choose. Wearing a well-fitting mask protects the wearer, even if others around them are not wearing masks.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Southwest Airlines: <\/strong>\u201cAs a result of this development, effectively immediately, Southwest Employees and Customers will be able to choose whether they would like to wear a mask, and we encourage individuals to make the best decision to support their personal wellbeing. Additionally, Southwest will continue supporting the comfort of those who travel with us by offering additional layers of protection, including sophisticated cabin air ventilation systems onboard our aircraft which incorporate HEPA air filtration that removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alaska Airlines: <\/strong>\u201cFace masks have been like boarding passes for nearly two years \u2014 you couldn\u2019t fly without one. But, as of today, masks are optional in airports and onboard aircraft, effective immediately. Due to a judicial decision in our federal court system, the mask mandate has been overturned, which means our guests and employees have the option to wear a mask while traveling in the U.S. and at work. While we are glad this means many of us get to see your smiling faces, we understand some might have mixed feelings. Please remember to be kind to one another and that wearing a mask while traveling is still an option.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This report will be continuously updated as more airlines release statements about where they stand on enforcing masks on flights.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
