NDRN Joins Organizations Urging DOT to Implement an Emergency Final Rule that Would Require Protective Face Masks or Coverings During Air Travel

The National Disability Rights Network joined organizations urging the Department of Transportation (DOT) to immediately grant the FlyersRights.org’s August 4, 2020 petition for an Emergency Final Rule that would require all air carriers and airport operators to require all persons to wear protective face masks or coverings at all time at airports and on airplanes. The letter also outlines that reasonable accommodations should be made for persons with disabilities or ailments who cannot wear masks or cloth face coverings.
