Female flight attendants working at China’s Hainan Airlines will be grounded if they are 10 per cent above the “standard” weight limit, as part of the airline’s efforts to manage its employees’ image.
The guidelines reportedly aim to regulate the weight of female flight attendants and underscored the importance of maintaining a “professional image”. Those who are between 5 per cent and 10 per cent overweight will undergo weekly weight checks for one month, reported Chinese newspaper Global Times. China’s aviation authorities do not specific weight standards for civil aviation personnel, reported Sixth Tone.
One netizen wrote on Chinese social media platform Weibo: “No need . A thin and small flight attendant who does not have enough strength may not be able to serve passengers well and maintain order and safety in the air.”
