JetBlue becomes the first U.S. airline to announce that all passengers will have to wear a face covering on flights.
JetBlue on Monday became the first airline to announce that all passengers will have to wear a face covering on flights.
Starting May 4, passengers will be required to wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth during the duration of each flight and also during check-in, boarding and deplaning, according to a JetBlue statement. "We are also asking our customers to follow these CDC guidelines in the airport as well," said Joanna Geraghty, the airline's president and chief operating officer. “Wearing a face covering isn’t about protecting yourself; it’s about protecting those around you.”JetBlue customers will be reminded by email and at the airport to wear a mask. Small children who can't keep a mask on are exempt.
Since late March, JetBlue has reduced the number of seats available on flights so that passengers and crew are able to spread out.
