Lufthansa Group to require only medical masks on flights

Lufthansa Group airlines are introducing a requirement for all passengers and crew members to wear only medical protective masks on flights to and from Germany. The company’s rule will comes into force on February 1. From that date, passengers will be required to wear either a surgical mask or an FFP2 mask or mask with the KN95/N95 standard during boarding the flight and when leaving the aircraft. Everyday masks will be no longer permitted. The airlines of the Lufthansa Group had already introduced a requirement to wear a mouth-nose mask on board their flights in May of last year, making them one of the pioneers worldwide. By adapting the regulation, the Lufthansa Group is now taking up the resolution passed by the federal and state governments in Germany on January 19. <br/>
