Australian National carrier Qantas says an update to its uniform and grooming requirements is in line with worker feedback and evolving customer expectations.

Qantas cabin crew will be able to ditch high heels for flats, grow their hair long and opt to wear make-up regardless of their gender for the first time in the airline’s century-long history.

The “style and grooming” overhaul comes in response to long-held frustrations by staff, modernising workplaces and evolving customer expectations, the airline said.

Qantas uniforms have not changed, but designated “male” and “female” uniform determinations have been scrapped and grooming requirements overhauled.
