The administration of Turkish Airlines, a state-run company flying to more than 200 destinations worldwide, amended its "Flight Attendant Dress Code", banning the usage of red lipstick and hair buns for women flight attendants.
According to an article published in Cumhuriyet newspaper by Özcan Yaşar, the airline administration implemented this new policy following "complaints submitted by passengers".
The new dress code allowed women flight attendants to wear rather pastel colors instead of red, and braided buns instead of hair-stick buns.
The new dress is expected to be officially announced and implemented soon, the article said.
In 2012, the Turkish Airlines administration also revised its dress code, banning the use of red-bleached hair, platinum blonde style, and flamboyant silver make-up for female flight attendants. (EKN/BM)
