Frontier Airlines mandates COVID-19 vaccination for all employees by Oct. 1

Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines said on Friday all its employees will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 1 in view of rising coronavirus cases. Companies across the United States are increasingly reinstating masking requirements and mandating vaccination to contain the highly transmissible Delta variant. “As we continue to watch the rapid increase of new COVID-19 cases across the United States caused by the Delta variant, I am concerned for the well-being of our team members, their families and friends,” Chief Executive Officer Barry Biffle said.
