Masks may no longer be required on Ryanair flights by April or May 2022.
Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said on Wednesday, that he hopes to see passengers travelling mask-free this spring.
It comes after Jet2 announced that customers in the UK will no longer be required to wear masks on board.
A Jet2 spokesman said: “It is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face mask in England and Northern Ireland, including at our airports or onboard our aircraft. We recommend that customers continue to wear a face mask in these spaces, as per government guidance.”
Earlier this month, England dropped all Covid restrictions including mask-wearing and isolating after testing positive for the virus.
