Male crew on British Airways flights will be allowed to wear makeup and piercings for the first time. Previously, certain things were not permitted to be worn by members of staff.
But now pilots and crew will be faced with less restrictions on what they choose to do with their appearances, with the hope of championing gender identity.The airline's uniform guidelines have been updated with non-gender-specific rules.
For example, stubble is now allowed, as well as more colours of nail polish to be worn by staff members.The uniforms themselves will not be changed, but instead the updates are focused on hairstyles, jewellery and makeup.A spokesperson from British Airways said: We are proud of all of our colleagues at British Airways and we are committed to an inclusive working environment."We have worked with our people to create updated guidelines for grooming, beauty and accessories, allowing our colleagues to bring the best, most authentic version of themselves to work every day."This comes just weeks after rival airline Virgin Atlantic updated its uniform guidelines, permitting male crew members to wear skirts.It means that colleagues are now able to choose which colour of uniform they want, either red or burgundy, depending on which best reflects themselves.Over the past few years, Virgin Atlantic has also relaxed the rules on makeup for employees, and recently lifted restrictions around allowing visible tattoos for crew members and its front line people.Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond.
