Jet2 has announced that it has dropped the requirement for passengers on its flights to wear face coverings, becoming the first airline to do so. The airline, which has a hub at Bristol Airport, confirmed the move from today.
Passengers flying from airports in England and Northern Ireland were told today that they would no longer be required to wear a mask on board, although a spokesperson said that it would still be recommended, per UK government guidance.
Other airlines are not expected to follow suit anytime soon, however. The move by Jet2 reportedly surprised bosses at other airlines as it was thought that the requirement would be lifted across all carriers simultaneously.
