Chip Roy mingles with others while not wearing a mask during a Southwest Airlines flight. A US congressman who has been an outspoken critic of Covid-19 mask mandates went without a mask for at least a portion of a commercial airline flight Tuesday evening, an apparent violation of federal law. Masks are still required by federal law on commercial aircraft and in all indoor spaces at airports for everyone older than two years of age. Most US airlines also prominently include mask wearing as a requirement in their written terms of service when passengers purchase tickets, with verbal reminders issued during boarding and safety briefings.
