EASYJET has scrapped face mask on their flights from today – although some passengers will still need to wear them.
The airline is the latest in the UK to scrap mandatory masks onboard, following Jet2 and TUI.
However, this only includes some flights, depending on the departing and arriving destination.
The airline has specified that passengers won't need to wear masks if they are flying from England to Northern Ireland, Jersey, Denmark, Gibraltar Iceland or Hungary.
However, they will still need masks if they are flying to all other easyJet destinations, including Spain, France, Italy and Scotland.
A spokesperson for the airline said: "As a pan European airline operating between 30 countries, we must continue to ensure that we and our customers follow the legal requirements of all the countries we fly to."
