Holiday operator TUI has scrapped the legal requirement for wearing masks on its flights. Face masks are no longer a legal requirement on TUI Airways flights to/from England and Northern Ireland after the change was brought in on March 11.
But the airline added, in line with UK government and EU Charter guidance, it strongly recommended that passengers still wear a mask throughout the flight. Under current guidance, it is still mandatory for customers aged 12 and above travelling on TUI Airways to/from Wales and Scotland to wear a mask throughout their flight unless medically exempt.
TUI added in a statement: "It’s important to note that you may still be required to wear a mask when leaving the aircraft and once inside the airport at your arrival destination. It is mandatory for customers aged two and above travelling to the USA on TUI Airways to wear a mask throughout their flight. Please remember to carry evidence if you are medically exempt.
