Qantas, Australia's national airline, has announced changes to its uniform policy for flight attendants. The carrier plans to introduce a new uniform by 2027 but has already relaxed gender-specific requirements. Female employees are no longer required to wear heels, and male employees can now wear makeup. Qantas stated that these changes reflect the times and its commitment to equality.
The airline also allows all employees to have long hair if styled in a bun or ponytail and permits diamond earrings and watches of any size or style. However, stockings remain mandatory with skirts, and tattoos must be covered.
These adjustments place Qantas among several airlines adopting more inclusive policies for flight attendant appearances. Alaska Airlines recently made similar changes, emphasizing freedom for gender expression.
