Beginning Aug. 7, Alaska Airlines will require all passengers over 2 years old to wear face coverings, without exception.
"Cloth masks or face coverings will be required on all flights, at ticket counters, throughout gate areas, and any other location where Alaska conducts business," the airlineposted on its site.
As supplies allow, the company will supply masks for people who forget to bring them, and will remind travelers about the requirement in pre-trip communication. The policy will be reevaluated as guidance evolves, the airline says.
