JetBlue Is First Airline To Require Masks For Passengers

CNBC reports:

Starting May 4, all JetBlue Airways passengers will be required to wear a face covering, the strictest policy so far in the U.S. and one that follows the New York-based airline’s requirement that flight attendants wear a mask or face covering while on duty.

“Wearing a face covering isn’t about protecting yourself, it’s about protecting those around you,” said JetBlue’s President Joanna Geraghty. “This is the new flying etiquette.”

American Airlines and Delta Air Lines earlier Monday said they will require thousands of employees to wear face masks and provide masks for passengers.

“This is the new flying etiquette,” says Joanna Geraghty, JetBlue’s president and COO, of requiring customers to wear masks starting May 4
