Rock, nylon stockings, lipstick in the color of the uniform.Depending on the airline, there are different strict regulations for clothes, make-up and appearance that apply to Flight Attendants worldwide.Sometimes pants and lace-up shoes for female crew members are okay, in some countries the flight attendants even have to be on the scales in order to be able to keep the profession.

And then there is Skyup, a Ukrainian cheap flight provider.From autumn, the company will dress in a bright orange pants suit, a trench coat made of Eco leather and snow-white sneakers from Nike.

New times, new looks

"The times have changed.Women have changed.Instead of conservative classics such as high heels, red lipstick and a bun, we are relying on a new and modern image of our employees, »says Sky Up-Marketing Manager Marianna Grigorash.She describes the new concept like this: «Freedom, natural beauty, individuality, no fixed patterns and sneakers in which everyone would like to fly.»The guidelines for hairstyles were also loosened to match this.Different styles are allowed.

Make-up remains mandatory

Get rid of the make-up, the flight attendants at Sky Up do not come: the lips are allowed to stay nude, the eyes are emphasized in blue and orange tones.

Corona puts the lipstick obligation on ice

And what about make-up?Foundation is desired at Edelweiss.Mascara, eyeshadow and lipstick or lip gloss in uniform red are mandatory.Swiss loosens Coronabed: «There are no adjustments with regard to the make -up obligation.However, the lipstick obligation for cabin crew members is currently exposed to the mask carrier obligation on board.»For a while, the flight attendants should still get on their lips without red - and who knows, maybe the next adaptation in the regulations is already in sight.
