Alaska Airlines told the Anchorage Daily News that State Senator Lora Reinbold (R) has been banned from its flights for refusing to follow mask-wearing rules.
There’s no overland road access from Reinbold’s district to the state capital in Juneau and Alaska Air provides the only airline service. That means if Reinbold wants to travel to the capital, the trip will take roughly three days, including a part by boat.
A video shows Reinbold arguing with airport staff about wearing a mask.
