Jet2 has dropped compulsory mask wearing on flights, the first carrier to downgrade it to a recommendation.
It has informed passengers masks are no longer mandatory on flights in England and Northern Ireland.
Passengers will still be required to wear masks in overseas airports and on transfers, subject to local rules.
“It’s no longer a legal requirement to wear a facemask at our airports or onboard our planes. However, as per UK government guidance, we recommend that you continue to wear a facemask in these spaces, and you will need to wear one when you get to your overseas destination, ”the airline said.
“It’s still a legal requirement for everyone aged six years and over to wear a facemask at our Scottish airports and onboard our planes travelling to and from those airports.”
