Norwegian Air will eliminate face mask requirements for customers traveling within Scandinavia from Monday, October 18, 2021. The carrier will banish the requirement due to the lower risk of infection and the lifting of restrictions in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
On Thursday (October 14, 2021), Norwegian Air announced that they will eliminate the face mask requirement for guests traveling within Scandinavia from Monday, October 18, 2021. Norwegian made this decision following the lifting of restrictions in Norway, Denmark and Sweden, as well as the lower risk of infection as COVID-19 subsides. The carrier originally introduced the mask requirement on June 17, 2020, following recommendations from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), but airline’s attitude has always been to maintain the requirement only as long as necessary. Naturally, customers who still wish to wear a mask are welcome to do so.
Norwegian will stain maintain the mask requirement for gusts traveling to other European destinations until further notice. Travelers are reminded that mask requirements still exist at most Nordic and European airports, and if a journey involves a stopover, masks may be required on the following flight segment. During October, the carrier is offering service on 159 popular domestic and international routes in Europe.
