Uh, yes?
If they’re in such a precarious medical situation that they can’t wear a mask, I don’t see how they could also be healthy enough to fly for several hours in a high cabin altitude.
Fortunately most of the airlines agree. However, if they are in the extremely rare position of being healthy enough to fly, but can’t wear a mask for a valid medical reason, they can obtain a physicians note for a mask exemption.
