Geneva [Switzerland], May 06 : The International Air Transport Association (IATA) came out in support of face coverings for passengers and masks for the crew to "add extra layers of protection" while onboard aircraft. The association, however, said it does not recommend airliners to restrict the use of the 'middle seat' to create social distancing while onboard aircraft.
