The CEO of Delta Air Lines said on Sunday that the company has not decided whether to mandate Covid-19 vaccines as the White House has requested.

The vaccination rate at the airline should be above 90 per cent by November 1, CEO Ed Bastian told reporters on the sidelines of a conference of airlines group IATA in Boston.

The White House is pressing major US airlines to mandate Covid-19 vaccines for employees by December 8 - the deadline for federal contractors. Large US airlines have a number of federal contracts.
