达美航空CEO：超过100人因拒绝戴口罩被禁飞！

Dozens of people have been barred from flying on Delta airplanes for refusing to comply with the airline industry's mask policies, Delta CEO Ed Bastian told CNN's Julia Chatterley on Friday.

据CNN报道，达美航空首席执行官艾德•巴斯蒂安周五对CNN的茱莉亚•查特利表示，拥已有数十人因拒绝遵守航空业的口罩政策而被禁止乘坐该航空公司的飞机。

"We've had well over 100 people that have refused to keep their mask on during the flight," he added.

艾德•巴斯蒂安补充道，“有超过100人拒绝在飞行中戴口罩。”

A spokesperson confirmed to CNN Business that those people have lost the ability to book future flights on Delta.

达美航空一位发言人对CNN Business确认，这些拒绝佩戴口罩者已经无法在达美航空预定未来的航班。

Delta, along with other major US carriers, warned in mid-June that airlines would begin banning passengers who refuse to wear masks during air travel in an effort to beef up enforcement of the policy. The federal government has not made mask-wearing a mandate, leaving it up to airlines to enforce their own policies.

达美航空与其他的主要的美国航空公司一道，在6月中曾警告称，航空公司将让在航空旅行期间拒绝戴口罩的乘客禁飞，以加强该政策的执行力度。美国联邦政府并未要求戴口罩，戴口罩是由航空公司在执行自己的政策。

The carrier has put in place some of the strictest pandemic-related policies in the industry, including requiring health screenings for passengers who cannot wear masks and pledging to leave middle seats empty to put distance between travelers.

达美航空已制定了业内与大流行相关的最严格的政策，包括要求对不能戴口罩的乘客进行健康检查，并保证将中间座位空着，以让旅客之间保持距离。

Bastian said in a separate interview with CNN last month that the vast majority of Delta passengers are compliant. But the customers who are not have caused disruptions.

巴斯蒂安7月在接受CNN的另一次采访中表示，绝大多数的达美航空的旅客都符合戴口罩的规定。但是，一些不符合戴口罩规定的旅客确实已经造成了扰乱。
