Qatar Airways makes face shields and masks mandatory
Among many other safety measures, Qatar Airways now requires economy passengers to wear face shield and a mask.
Business-class passengers are asked to wear their face shield and mask on board at their own discretion, as they enjoy more space and privacy. However, during boarding and disembarkation, all passengers will be required to wear face masks and face shields.
Children under two years of age are advised not to wear face shields and face masks.
