Jet2 issues update about face masks to Scottish customers following rule change

Jet2.com have become the first major airline to change their Covid rules regarding face masks for their customers.

The holiday provider and airline have announced that from now on, they are relaxing their Covid rules for those in English and Northern Irish airports.

For them, face masks are no longer mandatory to wear in airports or on Jet2 flights.

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.”
