ITHACA, N.Y. (WENY) - A reminder for those flying out of Ithaca Tompkins International Airport, masks are still required.

As required on public transportation in New York State, masks continue to be required at the airport.

This mandate is not affected by recent federal-level decisions or rulings on mask requirements.

Deputy Director of the Airport Josh Nalley stated, "Our airport continues to follow state and local guidance to keep our passengers and employees safe. Masks continue to be required in the airport, and we encourage passengers to look at additional local masking guidance both in Tompkins County and in the community they are flying to."
