Mandatory face masks rules are set to be scrapped on board flights to countries in the European Union following an update from health officials.
From Monday May 16, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) have been given the go ahead to lift mandatory face mask regulations.
This comes as both bodies noted that the risk of covid has been lowered due to the level of vaccinations and natural immunity.
