Because he stubbornly refused to wear a mask, a man at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol received a fine of 300 euros.

The refusal to wear a mouth and nose mask on board an airplane cost a traveler at Schiphol Airport dearly. According to the Koninklijke Marechaussee, he was escorted from the machine and had to shell out a fine of 300 euros. However, it was not disclosed which flight the man was on.

Such incidents can be expected more often in the near future. Most EU countries make it mandatory to wear MNS masks on board aircraft and inside airport buildings. Anyone who does not adhere to it can risk a fine. Exclusion from air travel is also entirely possible.
