The European Union will no longer require the wearing of masks at airports or onboard flights beginning on May 16, as the continent looks to ease CCP virus restrictions on passengers and crew members, authorities announced on May 11.
“From next week, face masks will no longer need to be mandatory in air travel in all cases, broadly aligning with the changing requirements of national authorities across Europe for public transport,” said Patrick Ky, executive director of the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
