United Airlines announced Monday that passengers who refuse to wear masks will be put on an internal travel restriction list and not be allowed on future flights.
The airline said the policy will start Thursday and last for a minimum of 60 days.
A comprehensive incident review will be conducted to determine how long passengers who do not cover their faces on flights will be on the internal travel restriction list, it added.
United said the policy is being put in place to protect passengers and crew, noting that the “overwhelming majority of passengers” are already covering their faces.
The new policy allows for some passengers to be exempted, including “individuals who have a medical condition or a disability that prevents them from wearing a face covering,” “those who cannot put on or remove a face covering themselves” and small children. All other travelers are required to wear the face covering unless they are eating and drinking, United noted.
If a flight attendant notices or is informed of a nonexempt passenger not wearing a mask, they will let the person know face coverings are mandatory and offer to provide them with a mask. If the traveler does not comply, the flight attendant will file a report of the incident, and a security team will investigate at the plane’s destination.
