Following the news of a federal judge in Florida ruling against the Biden administration's mandatory mask mandate for travelers onboard airplanes and other forms of public transportation, airlines are reacting by lifting mask mandates.

On Monday, some of the major U.S. airlines — Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines — say that masks are now optional for travelers on their aircraft.

In a statement to NPR, United Airlines says that masks are no longer required on domestic flights and select international flights.
