A spokesman said: “It’s no longer a legal requirement to wear a face mask at our airports or onboard our planes. However, as per UK government guidance, we recommend that you continue to wear a face mask in these spaces, and you will need to wear one when you get to your overseas destination.”
However, passengers will have to be aware of the laws and rules in the country they are flying to and may be required to wear a face mask in their arriving airport and on transfers.
However, these rules have also been updated, highlighting that face masks are still mandatory in Scotland and speaking to their Scottish customers, they remind them that face masks will have to be worn then.
And if any one is flying from England to Scotland-a face mask will have to be worn when in the Scottish airport and on public transport.
For flights to and from Scotland, the airline says: “It’s still a legal requirement for everyone aged six years and over to wear a face mask at our Scottish airports and onboard our planes travelling to and from those airports. This is the case even if you’re fully vaccinated.
“If you’re unable to wear a mask, you must let us know in advance to be able to travel.”
