American Airlines Group Inc <AAL.O> said on Wednesday it would require all its customers over two-years old to wear face coverings at airports and on board, starting July 29.

The airline's new policy will require customers to wear a face covering in all airport areas from the time they enter their departure airport and not remove it until they exit their arrival airport, it said https://bit.ly/3eTW3as in a statement.

Customers who refuse to comply with the company's policy may be barred from future travel for the duration of the face covering requirement, it added.
