Charlotte Jørgensen of DWTS Shares Experience as Passenger During Air Canada Runway Crash
A new and controversial policy is about to be implemented at Air India.
The airline plans to introduce regulations that may place cabin crew members on unpaid leave based on their Body Mass Index (BMI) readings, according to various reports.
Effective May 1, the policy classifies a BMI range between 18 and 24.9 as “normal” and acceptable for flight, based on airline guidelines obtained by The Economic Times. A BMI reading below 18 would be deemed “underweight,” while a reading between 25 and 29.9 would be categorized as “overweight.”
Furthermore, the airline’s forthcoming policy would label a BMI reading of 30 or above as “obese” and unacceptable for travel, leading to immediate removal from active flight rosters and loss of pay, as reported by various outlets. Affected individuals would be required to undergo medical tests, including blood sugar and lipid profile checks, within seven days to assess underlying health risks, according to NDTV.
