Some airlines are changing their policies on what constitutes an acceptable face mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on its flights.
Finland’s largest airline, Finnair, recently announced that passengers will no longer be allowed to wear fabric masks on flights. Because “fabric masks are slightly less efficient at protecting people from infection than surgical masks,” the airline now only accepts “surgical masks, FFP2 or FFP3 respirator masks without a valve, or other valve-free masks with the same standard (N95).”
