“This is obviously a disappointing decision,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters. “The CDC is recommending wearing a mask on public transit.”
The mask mandate is extended through at least May 3 while COVID-19 cases rise, frustrating some air travelers.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A federal judge in Florida struck down a national mask mandate on airplanes and mass transit Monday, andThe judge's decision freed, airports and mass transit systems to make their own decisions about mask requirements, resulting in a mix of responses.
The Association of Flight Attendants, the nation’s largest union of cabin crews, has recently taken a neutral position on the mask rule because its members are divided about the issue. On Monday, the union’s president appealed for calm on planes and in airports. The decision by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, also said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention failed to justify its decision and did not follow proper rulemaking procedures that left it fatally flawed.
The White House said the court ruling means that for now the mask order “is not in effect at this time.” United Airlines said in a statement that, effective immediately, masks would no longer be required on domestic flights or certain international flights.
