Tata group-owned Air India has issued new guidelines on grooming for its male and female cabin crew, including barring them from sporting black and religious thread on the wrist, neck and ankle.
Among others, the airline has told the crew that they should not have grey hair and must be regularly coloured in natural shade.
“Religious rings with coloured stones and pearls, nose-pins and neck jewellery” along with thumb rings are not allowed.
“Black and religious thread on wrist, neck and ankle are strictly not permitted,” as per the guidelines.
According to the airline, a bald look is allowed for the crew.
