One of the UK’s largest tour operators has updated its facemask rule in the wake of the latest relaxation of Covid rules. Tui has said that face masks will no longer be a legal requirement on TUI Airways flights to and from England, Northern Ireland and Wales .
This means that TUI passengers flying to and from Wales will no longer be required to wear a face covering. However, in line with UK government and EU Charter guidance, the travel firm said: "We strongly recommend that you still wear a mask throughout your flight".
The airline dropped its mandatory mask rule for passengers on flights from England and Northern Ireland earlier this month. The latest rule change reduces the restriction for Wales. However, under current guidance, it is still mandatory for passengers aged 12 and above travelling on TUI Airways to and from Scotland to wear a mask throughout their flight unless they are medically exempt. A Tui spokesperson said: "It’s important to note that you may still be required to wear a mask when leaving the aircraft and once inside the airport at your arrival destination."
