Soon after the announcement, United Airlines and Alaska Airlines relaxes its masking restrictions effective immediately on all domestic flights.

The Biden administration will no longer enforce a US mask mandate on public transportation, after a federal judge in Florida on Monday, April 18, ruled that the 14-month-old directive was unlawful, overturning a key White House effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Judge Mizelle said the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had exceeded its authority with the mandate, had not sought public comment and did not adequately explain its decisions. Industry groups and Republican lawmakers had wanted the administration to end the 14-month-old mask mandate last week.
