Delta Air Lines will begin allowing passengers who were banned from flying for “mask non-compliance” back on its airplanesthe Biden administration’s mask mandate for air, rail and other travel, the company said Wednesday.
"Any further disregard for the policies that keep us all safe will result in placement on Delta’s permanent no-fly list," the company said. "Customers who demonstrated egregious behavior and are already on the permanent no-fly list remain barred from flying with Delta." The move came one day after United Airlines said it will also allow some customers who had previously been banned back on its planes.
Since Jan. 1, nearly 800 of the 1,233 reported incidents of airline passengers disrupting flights with threats or violent behavior were related to masks, the administration said.
