Gray hair, ‘revealing’ clothes banned for Air India crew

Air India has issued sweeping new style regulations, banning everything from gray hair on air stewards to pearls for their female counterparts as new owners seek to reinvent the former state carrier. The guidelines, seen by Bloomberg, go into exceeding detail. One style point notes that while the “bald look is permitted,” men with deep receding hairlines or bald patches will be required to shave their heads — daily. Air India is also making it mandatory for female cabin crew to wear earrings — but only gold- or diamond-studded ones. Gray hair must be regularly colored in a natural shade. Representatives for Air India didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
