A mask must be worn on board Lufthansa, Eurowings and Cityline aircraft. The other carriers in the group are currently also examining this.

It will be compulsory to wear mouth and nose protection on board a Lufthansa flight from next week. According to the notification, children up to the age of six and people who are demonstrably unable to wear a mask for health reasons or because of a disability are exempt from the obligation. This applies to Lufthansa, Eurowings and Cityline flights. The other group airlines would currently consider a mask requirement.

The masks must be worn from the time the machines are boarded until they are left. Exceptions are the consumption of beverages and food, communication with the deaf, for identification purposes and “for other necessary activities incompatible with wearing mouth and nose protection”. Lufthansa has been recommending wearing a mask on board since May 4th.
