Air Canada, Delta, SWISS and United Airlines will introduce the mandate in the coming months, after Qantas announced it will require all front-line staff to be fully vaccinated by 15 November. 


Chief executive of Delta, Ed Bastian, announced on Wednesday (25 August) that 75% of the airline’s staff had already received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.
