A sign reading, 'masks required in this area,' is seen as travelers prepare to check-in at the Miami International Airport, Feb. 1, 2021 in Miami, Fla.Last month, CEOs of all major U.S. airlines wrote to the administration to stop requiring masks on planes. There's political pressure too. Several Democratic senators last March joined Republicans in a 57-40 Senate vote to overturn the requirement, although that bill hasn't been taken up in the House.
"There's a lot of mixing, a lot of international travel that it's hard to disentangle," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told ABC's"Start Here" last March. The mandate also applies to all public transportation hubs, including airports.
