BREAKING: Alaska Airlines says travelers are no longer required to wear face masks while in airports and onboard aircraft.
"Due to a judicial decision in our federal court system, the mask mandate has been overturned, which means our guests and employees have the option to wear a mask while traveling in the U.S. and at work," the airline said.
Max Tidwell, VP of safety & security at Alaska Airlines, released a statement Monday saying,"It has been a long 24 months with nearly constant change. I could not be prouder of our frontline employees who have handled every pivot focusing on safety and the care we're known for. We're also thankful for our guests who remained considerate, patient and stood by us throughout every twist and turn.
