British Airways announced today that they are dropping the facemask requirement as of Wednesday March 16th.

UK leisure airline Jet2 had previously ended their mask mandate.

Hopefully we see this more and more across carriers.

Carriers that have lifted Mask Requirements:
Swiss (As of 4/1/22)
KLM (Will not enforce after 3/23 though government mask mandate still in effect)
British Airways (As of 3/16/22)
Virgin Atlantic (As of 3/16/22)
Jet2 UK

Other:
London's Heathrow Airport (As of 3/16/22)
All German Airports (As of 4/2/22)

Great! We're booked on BA for a trip to eastern Europe this summer (now we have to wonder if there will still be an eastern Europe by then.)

Thank god someone has balls. Why haven't all the airlines done this by now? I'm hoping this starts the domino effect and the US based ones begin. Screw it, if they all came out tomorrow that April 19th masks aren't required this ends in a month...

Just to be clear:

This does not apply to flights to and from the US.

You still have to wear a mask.

It’s being reported that British Airways has postponed dropping its face mask requirement. Apparently this is because the company is still ironing out some details in terms of exactly under which circumstances masks won’t be needed, based on laws in different countries. Despite that, the airline still has a Tweet up about the face mask requirement being lifted as of today.

As of tomorrow, 3/23/22, KLM will no longer enforce the face mask mandate.

Please note that the mask mandate has not been lifted by the Dutch government and technically masks are still required on planes.

Germany lifts mask mandates in Airports but "strongly encourages" them. Masks are still required to be worn on planes.
