Qantas Airways updated its uniform policy allowing female staff to abandon high heels. The new rules allows anyone to wear makeup, but tattoos still need to be concealed. Another airline has given its presentation rules a makeover, letting female flight attendants abandon high heels and allowing anyone to wear makeup. Anyone can wear makeup if they choose to, and have hair in a ponytail or bun. In March, Spanish airline Vueling was reportedly fined 30,000 euros (about $32,000) for enforcing a strict high heel and makeup policy in its female cabin crew.
