Tiffs over mask-wearing trouble US airlines too

Say officials at American Airlines and United Airlines, the rule is clear: No passenger can board a flight unless he or she has a mask on..

The airline does provide masks in airports and onboard planes but will not "deny boarding based solely upon a customer not wearing a mask.". American economy may need vaccine for full recovery: Fed's Powell /node/1676261/business-economy.
