Delta Air Lines announces new health screenings for passengers who can't wear masks and asks them to consider staying home Delta Air Lines will now require medical screenings for passengers who can't wear face masks due to health reasons — and asks that they reconsider flying altogether as the coronavirus pandemic rages. The strengthened policy adds another layer of protection for passengers who are already mostly required to wear masks while on flights, during boarding and in Delta waiting areas. If they don't comply, they face being banned from future flights. "We encourage customers who are prevented from wearing a mask due to a health condition to reconsider travel," the statement said. "If they decide to travel, they will be welcome to fly upon completing a virtual consultation prior to departure at the airport to ensure everyone's safety, because nothing is more important."

United Airlines loses $1.6 billion in the second quarter amid travel slowdown Sara Salinas, Leslie Josephs United Airlines reported a second-quarter net loss of more than $1.6 billion, driven by a near-shutdown in air travel spurred by the coronavirus pandemic. Revenue for the period fell 87%, on a year-over-year basis, to $1.48 billion, bad news for the start of the peak summer travel season. The airline is now focused on further slashing its cash burn to $25 million a day in the third quarter from an average $40 million per day, according to the airline’s quarterly report. The Chicago-based airline has added capacity back into the market cautiously and said it expects to operate 35% of what it flew in the third quarter of last year. “United believes it did the best job of matching actual capacity to demand among its largest network peers,” the airline said in a release. “The company also expects to finish the quarter with the lowest average daily cash burn among large network carriers.” o~~~ O
