To help manage the spread of COVID-19, the Government of Canada has put in place some additional measures for air travel. Starting on April 19, 2020, all travellers are required to wear a mask when flying. 

All travellers must have a removable face covering or non-medical mask to cover their mouth and nose for use through the airport and in-flight to prevent the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 through respiratory droplets. Travellers are encouraged to wear a face covering or mask where possible, but must do so when directed by an official from CATSA, Swoop employees, a CBSA officer or Canadian public health official.

All travellers must: 

• Have a face covering/mask in their possession prior to boarding a flight    
• Wear their face covering/mask at all times during their flight when they are not able to practice safe social distancing    
• Follow the instructions laid out by in-flight crew members about wearing their face covering/mask

Please note that Swoop is not providing masks. All travellers are required to have their own face coverings or mask prior to departure.
