FlyersRights issues COVID-19 Mitigation Policy Memorandum

FlyersRights.org published its COVID-19 Mitigation Policy Memorandum, calling on the DOT and FAA to consider implementing additional policies.

President Biden’s Executive Order directed the DOT and other agencies to implement a mask rule and to consider other measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

In addition to analyzing mask rule considerations, FlyersRights’ COVID-19 Mitigation Policy Memorandum proposes:

• improved social distancing policies, including mandatory middle-seat blocking
• Temperature and Covid-19 checks
• Suspension of refund and change fees to encourage sick passengers to reconsider travel
