Yes, This Includes Part 135 Operations
The NATA has broken down the current issues involved with being compliant with the new mask mandate sweeping through our transportation systems.... including BizAv and a fair amount of GA.
The CDC issued an order requiring travelers to wear masks when entering the premises of a transportation hub, awaiting, boarding, disembarking, and for the duration of travel. The CDC mask requirement applies to aviation facilities such as airports, FBOs and commercial aircraft operations, including part 135 operations.
This Order, effective on February 1, 2021 at 2359 (EST), must be followed by all passengers traveling into, within, or out of the United States as well as operators and operators of transportation hubs or any other area that provides transportation.
Aircraft and transportation hub operators must use best efforts to ensure travelers are wearing masks, including:
- Allowing entry to or boarding only those wearing masks
- Monitoring and seeking compliance for those on premises or onboard
- Removing or disembarking, at earliest opportunity, any person who refuses to wear a mask
- Providing notification of requirement by Federal law on digital, print, audio, and other platforms
Order exemptions are granted for:
- Eating, drinking, or taking medications, for brief periods
- Communicating with a person who is hearing impaired
- Instances when wearing oxygen masks are needed due to loss of cabin pressure or other event affecting aircraft ventilation
- Travelers who are unconscious (for reasons other than sleeping), incapacitated, unable to be awakened, or otherwise unable to move without assistance
- Verifying a traveler's identity such as through TSA screening or by a ticket or gate agent
- Children under the age of 2 years
- A person with a disability who can not safely wear a mask
- A person for whom wearing a mask would pose a risk to workplace health, safety, or job duty as determined by relevant federal regulations or workplace safety guidelines
