A federal judge in Florida overturned the nationwide requirement for mask-wearing on public transportation including airplanes, declaring it beyond the authority of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Following the decision, a range of U.S. airlines, including United, Delta, American, and Alaska Air, were quick to drop their internal mask requirements. The response from international carriers demonstrated a split, with some companies dropping the mandate and others, such as Air France and Lufthansa, maintaining it dependent on destination. Mask policies at airports are varying, with some, like Paine Field in Everett, declaring masks optional.
