'Delta requires masks on every flight for the safety of our customers and crew,' said an airline spokeswoman.
, passengers and the airline's employees are mandated to wear a face covering"on board the aircraft for the duration of the flight – except limited time while eating or drinking."
It further adds:"Customers with unique mask requirements should bring the appropriate face covering that best meets their needs. Customers with underlying conditions that explicitly prevent the wearing of a face covering or mask are strongly encouraged to reconsider travel or should be prepared to complete a 'Clearance-to-Fly' process prior to departure at the airport.
Delta also says that face coverings are required at the airline's lobby check-in, Delta Sky Clubs, boarding gate areas, and jet bridges. What happened on the Delta flight is the latest in a number of incidents involving passengers who refused to don a mask while traveling on a plane. Anin July involving another Delta flight resulted in that plane returning to the gate after two passengers did not want to wear face coverings. That came a day after Delta CEO Ed Bastian said that passengers who don't comply with the mask mandate will not be able to travel on the company's planes going forward.
