Watch: Passengers celebrate as pilot announces removal of mask on flight, netizens react

Wearing masks has been mandatory around the world since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, people have not been very fond of this practice, considering the expression of people against it. One such joyous expression was seen recently through a viral video showing people celebrating the removal of the mask on a Delta flight.

The incident came to light through a viral video after the federal judge in Florida removed the mask mandate for aeroplanes and other means of public transport. When the pilot informed the travellers on a Delta flight about the new development, people started celebrating and cheering with joy. The video of the reactions of the air travellers has gone viral and has started a chain of reactions among the netizens.
