These airlines are letting passengers banned for mask violations back on planes

Travelers who were once banned by major U.S. airlines for violating the federal mask mandate may soon be allowed to fly again.

Four major U.S. airlines — Delta, United, American and Alaska Airlines — have announced they’re now allowing some passengers who were once banned from flying on their planes due to mask violations to travel onboard.

This move comes after a federal judge in Florida on Monday ruled against the Biden administration’s mandatory mask mandate for passengers on planes and other forms of public transportation, airlines soon began lifting their mask policies for travelers.
