airports

The program, which will now be in eight airports, tests international travelers for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases and asks questions about their travels.

The EPA recently declared that emissions from aircrafts that use leaded fuel pose a danger to public health. The Engineering dean at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University explains.

From Phoenix to Kansas City, airports have added special lanyards, a quiet room and even a simulation center where caretakers and those with dementia can learn about flying. But most large U.S. airports are behind the curve.

A Tampa-based federal judge in April 2022 halted a mandate that people wear masks on planes, trains and buses. The appellate panel cited the end to the public health emergency.

TSA says it will no longer enforce the mandate after a Tampa-based judge's ruling. It didn't take long for major airlines to switch to a mask-optional policy, with some passengers cheering when the change was announced midfight.

The rapid emergence of the omicron variant of the coronavirus has many questioning whether they should rethink their holiday travel plans.

President Joe Biden has extended mask requirements and imposed new travel restrictions on international travelers as the omicron variant of COVID-19 spreads.

Miami International Airport ranked No. 1 with more than 500 cases, according to federal statistucs. Airports in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa were also in the top 20.

As more people return to air travel, several airports are offering yoga, stretching and meditation areas. Live music and therapy pet programs are also intended to calm stressed-out travelers.

Airlines and airports, which have been hit hard financially by the pandemic, will get another $14 billion under President Biden’s plan, provided they do not lay off any staff before October.
