As part of new changes, female cabin crew, known for wearing an iconic red uniform, were provided with a pair of trousers in addition to the standard shirt and skirt. Prior to this female crew would have to specially request trousers if they wished to wear them. In the same year, Norwegian Air dropped their high heel and makeup requirement for female flight attendants and allowed male members of staff to wear ‘light make-up’. It came after they were criticised when it emerged its female flight attendants were forced to wear high heels, with the only exception being if they have a doctor’s note – which they would have to bring in daily.
