Four major U.S. airlines are doing away with mask requirements after a Florida federal judge on Monday struck down the mandate.
Several airlines including United, Delta, Southwest and American announced they’re dropping the requirement for passengers and employees.
Delta noted that "mask mandates in other countries may still be in effect," despite the airline's announcement.
"You may experience inconsistent enforcement during the next 24 hours as this news is more broadly communicated," the company added.
As reported by Human Events News, Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said the Biden administration’s mandate is unlawful because it exceeds the statutory authority of the CDC and that its implementation violates administrative law.
The mandate for travelers on buses, trains and airplanes was recently extended through May 3rd, 15 days after it was set to expire.
