The UK’s largest low-cost airline has joined the ranks of carriers who have abandoned the mandatory mask rule British domestic flights. It is about easyJet which from 27 March will no longer require passengers to wear respiratory protective equipment. However, this will not apply to all routes. Those who fly to those countries where the obligation to wear a mask remains in force on means of transport (including airplanes, therefore) will have to follow “The relevant legal requirements”.
Via the obligation to wear a mask on these flights and routes
From next Sunday, it will no longer be mandatory to wear a mask on easyJet domestic flights in the UK and on those between the UK and the Denmark, Gibraltar, Iceland e Hungary. The British low-cost airline has, however, specified that on flights to or from countries where the mask requirements remain in force, it remains mandatory to wear it on board.
So, for example, since both England and Iceland have abandoned most, if not all of the travel restrictions adopted for the pandemic. (here you find the new rules for traveling to the United Kingdom), protective equipment would not be required on flights from London to Reykjavik. The same would apply to flights from England to Denmark, Gibraltar, Norway and Hungary, but not between any of these destinations and Scotlandwhere instead the rules of face coverage remain in force (for now), as in Italy.
To do so travelers can leave with clear ideas about restrictions, and with the obligation or not to wear a mask, the low cost airline said it was ready to provide detailed information to passengers, even during the flight. In this regard, easyJet stated: “We urge European governments to have a coordinated approach on removing the obligation, where possible, to make it easy and clear for customers.”
Meanwhile, in recent weeks, too British Airways, Jet2.com e Tui Airways have relaxed the rules for using the mask on board their flights. On flights Ryanairinstead, the obligation remains. In particular, passengers traveling to or from Italy, Austria or Germany must wear the Ffp2. Chief Executive Michael O’Leary, however, stressed that he expects this requirement to be lifted from the end of April or the end of May.
Travel masks: how it works in Italy
Until 30 April it will still be mandatory, throughout the national territory, to wear the Ffp2 for access to interregional airplanes, ships and ferries, interregional trains, Intercity High Speed, interregional buses and rental buses with driver. As well as on local or regional public transport, cable cars, gondola lifts and chairlifts.
Also until April 30, it will be mandatory to wear respiratory protective equipment in all other indoor places. Masks are also mandatory in dance halls, discos and similar indoor venues, with the exception of the dance time. Here, however, we explain what will happen with the Green Pass.
Although the situation seems to improve a little everywhere, it is nevertheless always advisable to maintain a certain attention even in countries without any restrictions related to Covid. We remind you that travel rules are constantly changing at any destination. For this reason, before leaving, it is always good to view the institutional sites of the destination country and the web page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Travel Safe.
