A4A CEO urges lifting of mask mandate, predeparture testing

Airlines for America President and CEO Nick Calio appeared on Yahoo Finance and WMAL’s O’Connor and Company to discuss the letter to the White House from leading US airline CEOs requesting the lifting of COVID-era travel policies, including the federal transportation mask mandate and predeparture testing. “From the beginning, airlines have leaned into science and data to make decisions about protecting our passengers and crews,” Calio said. In the current public health environment, “there is no justification based on science and data to discriminate against air travel.”
