Jet2 says it is no longer a legal requirement to wear face masks on its flights or at airports it operates in across England and Northern Ireland.
But as per UK Government Covid guidance, the holiday operator recommends that passengers continue to wear a face mask in these spaces, and you will need to wear one when you get to your overseas destination.
The airline, which is one of the major operators out of East Midlands Airport, says passengers will still have to wear them overseas when leaving the plane and inside the airport they fly to.
There are also still requirements in Scottish airports to wear a face mask.
Here's the latest on Jet2's face mask policy which was updated on March 2.
England and Northern Ireland
Jet2 says: "It’s no longer a legal requirement to wear a face mask at our airports or onboard our planes. However, as per UK Government guidance, we recommend that you continue to wear a face mask in these spaces, and you will need to wear one when you get to your overseas destination."
Scotland
The airline added: "It’s still a legal requirement for everyone aged six years and over to wear a face mask at our Scottish airports and onboard our planes travelling to and from those airports. This is the case even if you're fully vaccinated.
"If you’re unable to wear a mask, you must let us know in advance to be able to travel – please provide proof of your exemption to our Special Assistance team on 0800 408 5591 so we can authorise your travel. We’ll ask you for specific medical evidence to confirm this, as we don’t accept downloaded exemption cards or lanyards as proof of exemption. And if you fail to wear a face mask without our agreement, you’ll not be allowed to board your flight."
Do I still need to wear a face mask overseas?
Jet2 said: "Yes, you’ll need to wear a mask when you leave the plane, inside the airport and onboard our transfers to and from your accommodation, even if you’re fully vaccinated.
"There may also be additional face mask restrictions in some places, and the rules around ages may differ per destination too. Please check the FCDO website for more information."
