Airlines are required to have EpiPens on airplanes.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (73/100).

Current regulations by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) do not specifically require airlines to have EpiPens (epinephrine auto-injectors) on board. Airlines are generally required to carry medical kits that include basic first aid items and medications, but epinephrine auto-injectors are not a mandated component. This requirement can vary by country and specific airline policies. The accuracy of the claim depends on regional regulations and airline policies, which are subject to change.
