PTI, RDU airports will no longer require masks, effective immediately, officials say

Airport officials tweeted that they're ending their mask mandate.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Piedmont International Airport will no longer require passengers to wear masks. 

PTI tweeted that masks are no longer required at the airport for passengers, employees or guests.

The Raleigh-Durham international airport also said they are ending their mask mandate, effective immediately. 

Airport officials released a statement via Twitter announcing that guests and employees will no longer have to wear masks. 

"RDU visitors and employees are no longer required to wear a mask at the airport, effective immediately. The TSA will no longer enforce the security directive that requires airport guests and employees to wear masks.”

This comes after a federal judge in Florida voided the national mask mandate on airplanes and other public transportation as exceeding the authority of U.S. health officials in the coronavirus pandemic.
