Delta puts 460 passengers on 'no-fly list' due to mask violations

Delta Air Lines has added 460 people to its “no-fly list” due to mask violations during the carrier’s flights.

On Friday, in an internal memo to employees obtained by ABC News, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said that 460 passengers had been added to the airline’s “no-fly list for refusing to comply with our mask requirement”.

He added: “Wearing a mask is among the simplest and most effective actions we can take to reduce transmission, which is why Delta has long required them for our customers and our people.”

Delta made it mandatory for passengers to wear face masks during flights on 1 May, except when eating and drinking, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
