By Siobhan Downes ofPhoto: 123RFNew Zealand is now one of the few remaining countries to require face masks on flights - but a move to the green light level could see that rule scrapped. Australia's national cabinet has just agreed to remove the mask mandate for passengers on domestic flights from 9 September. The move came after Singapore Airlines last week announced passengers would no longer be required to wear face masks on flights, unless travelling to a destination where mask-wearing was mandated. In New Zealand, face masks have been mandatory for passengers aged 12 and over on all domestic flights since November 2020. Face masks are also compulsory on all international flights to New Zealand.
