Alaska Airlines to Require Masks for Flyers and Employees .
Passengers who are planning to fly with Alaska Airlines will soon be required to cover their faces with masks. The airline announced the change in a statement on May 8. The face mask requirement goes into effect on May 11.

On May 8, Alaska Airlines said their employees who cannot maintain six feet of distance from the other coworkers and guests will also be required to wear masks. Under the dark shed of COVID-19, we are in a new age of air travel. We are continually updating our Alaska Airlines reservation pattern and safety standards to better protect the flyers and employees. Alaska Airlines Vice President of Safety Max Tidwell stated that for now, wearing masks is a layer of protection that can reduce the spread of the virus.

Flyers will be required to wear masks while boarding their own flight and at the airport. The airline clearly mentioned that guests are expected to bring their own face mask, but there will be some available for guests who forget to bring one.

According to the company, the Alaska Airlines reservation, cancellation and other policy will be reevaluated periodically. To know more about Alaska Airlines cancellation and reservation policy dial 888-220-0490.
