More than 700 airline passengers have been banned from flying on US airlines for refusing to wear masks, according to a report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Air Lines has been the strictest, putting 270 passengers on its \u201cno fly\u201d list for flouting its mask policy, the Los Angeles Times said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Airlines told the Californian paper it has banned 150, Spirit Airlines said 128, Frontier Airlines banned 106 and Hawaiian Airlines six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaska Airlines said it has banned 78 \u2014 and also gave out 92 warnings, or \u201cyellow cards,\u201d to passengers who had to be admonished more than once on a flight for ignoring the mask policy, the L.A. paper said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual tally could be far higher, with others including American Airlines and Southwest Airlines declining to reveal how bans have been issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also possible that some defiant passengers could have been banned by more than airline, as the carriers are not sharing names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long the bans last depends on the airline and the individual passenger\u2019s behavior, the companies said. Delta said its bans could last a lifetime in certain cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the coronavirus pandemic, all major US airlines have begin requiring passengers over the age of 2 to cover their faces during flights except when drinking, eating or taking medicine, the paper noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe expect our customers to comply with our policies when they choose to travel with us, and we take action when that is not the case,\u201d American Airlines spokesman Curtis Blessing told the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sara Nelson, president of the Assn. of Flight Attendants-CWA, which represents nearly 50,000 flight attendants at 19 airlines, said the staffers have repeatedly called for a federal mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFlight attendants want a federal mandate, and so do lawmakers,\u201d she said. \u201cJust like anyone smoking on a plane faces federal charges and fines, so too should people understand the serious consequences of putting the health of others at risk by refusing to wear a mask.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
