Aeroflot Seeks Attractive Cabin Crew Only

Russian carrier Aeroflot has announced plans to revamp its image by upgrading its fleet and seeking ‘more attractive’ air hostesses.

The company plans to improve its service and employ more attractive staff in a move thought to be inspired by Virgin’s more glamorous flight attendants.

Aeroflot seeks flight attendants who are “very striking, very eye-catching girls,” CEO Vitaly Savelyev told The Independent.

A height and weight restriction will apply for all new applicants.

The airline also announced a change in uniforms, and will hold a competition amongst designers to come up with the winning colours.

“Psychologists have told us that the current colour evokes revulsion in passengers,” Mr Savelyev told Russian newspaper Vedomosti.

“We’ve looked at the uniforms of other major carriers. My son sent me a wonderful video clip of Virgin Atlantic – all of their stewardesses are in bright red uniforms and look like professional models.”
