A Weibo post on the report by Hangzhou-based information page dushikuaibao has received more than 57, 000 wants, with some remarks praising Air Travel’s uniform policy shift.  ,
“( I ) support ditching high heels for flight attendants, high heels are shackles for the feet”! goes one remark which has garnered 11, 000 loves.  ,
Another opinion, which has more than 9, 100 wants, states:” Really, it would be most suited for flight attendants to wear flat shoes and skirts for their work” . ,
Some users praised the move, but they also argued that more Chinese airlines may eliminate the requirement for female cabin crews.  ,
” Hunan Airlines did it, maybe it becomes more wide-spread”! stated a Weibo article which received more than 13, 000 wants.
Some Weibo people also suggested making changes to the female cabin crew’s clothes, such as replacing clothes with full-length pants for ease of movement while working.  ,
Although Air Travel is reportedly the first domestic airline to completely eliminate the high-heel rule, it is n’t the only local airline with relaxed uniform standards.
For consistency, Shanghai-based Juneyao Airlines mandated last year that feminine flight attendants wear cottages during board and in the house. Before boarding, they may choose either cottages or high heels. The exact date that the law came into effect was not specified in the statement.
Also, low-cost ship Spring Airlines has been providing trip staff black cottages to change into after boarding the aircraft, The Paper reported. When this estimate was put into place, Spring Airlines did not specify when it was going to be implemented, merely stating that it is meant to lower the risk of injury during turbulence.
Numerous flights around the world have now removed high ankle mandates for their adult flight attendants, even as Chinese airlines take steps ahead.
In 2021, Ukrainian low-cost airport SkyUp Airlines replaced high heels with white Nike shoes and suits, while Asian airline Qantas switched to flats in 2023.
According to The Guardian, Japan Airlines announced in 2020 that its female flight staff may no longer be required to wear high heels or dresses.  ,
In a move meant to create a “diverse working culture,” the ship said at the time, they would be able to “pick the footwear that best fits their needs” and transfer their dresses for trousers.
