The European Security Agency (EASA) and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) have announced that they will withdraw the recommendation to make masks mandatory on flights and airports as part of the anti-covid measures.
The Update of the Joint Protocol of Aviation Health Security takes into account the current situation regarding the pandemic, especially levels of vaccination and naturally acquired immunity, the organizations said in a statement.
In view of this, it is possible to start relaxing the limits in force in relation to air traffic, which will help to alleviate the burden they place on the sector.
“From next week, the face mask they no longer need to be mandatory for air travel in all cases, in line with the evolving public transport requirements of national authorities across Europe,” said EASA Executive Director Patrick Ky.
He added that it is a “big step” towards “normalization” for passengers and staff, although he urged the former to act and consider “responsibly”. wear a mask for example when they sneeze and cough.
