Wearing non-medical face masks is mandatory for air travellers as per guidelines established by Transport Canada and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA). Anyone who does not wear a face mask will be denied boarding. There are certain exceptions for infants (under two years old), individuals with disabilities, and those who can provide a medical certificate certifying that they are unable to wear a face mask for a medical reason. Children between the ages of two and five years are required to wear a non-medical mask or face covering at the time of boarding, during flight, and while disembarking, so long as the child is able to tolerate it. Children in this age bracket (or their parents/guardian) must be able to demonstrate they have a mask in their possession when boarding the plane, even if the child is not able to tolerate wearing the non-medical mask or face covering at that time. There are certain exceptions for children under the age of five years and individuals with disabilities, for more information please visit this link and the Government of Canada website. Sunwing will not be responsible for and will not assume any expense in the event that you are denied boarding. Not wearing a mask could result in a financial penalty of up to $5,000.00.
