The travel industry took one of the biggest economic hits during the pandemic, with the airline industry being particularly hit hard. As a gradual reopening has spread haphazardly across the country, many airlines are taking similar precautions: mandating masks, running planes below capacity, and other health precautions. The newest announcement to come out is that the sale of alcohol on some major airlines is either being banned completely, or restricted only for certain groups. This is intended to limit time without a mask, as well as the need for passengers to move about the cabin or go to the bathroom.
