1. Bring and wear your mask

As specified in the decree of May 11, 2020, wearing a mask is compulsory (from 11 years old) in airports and planes. Anyone who does not comply with this rule will be refused access to the airport and will be subject to a fine of 135 euros.

The obligation of wearing a mask does not prevent the passenger from being asked to remove it for the strict necessity of checking his identity.
In addition, wearing a surgical mask is compulsory on board of an aircraft. Depending on the destination, several masks should be at your disposal for the duration of the trip.

So, for everyone's safety & security, wearing a mask is mandatory:

in case the physical distancing of 1 meter is not respected
