SriLankan Airlines has recently recruited 106 young women as air hostesses ‘without pimples on face or marks on the midriff‘ which shows when wearing a saree, Aviation Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said.
These 106 flight attendants have been selected from around 6000 young women who faced the tough interview at the BMICH in Colombo.
He said that the national airline was advised to recruit women from around the country as air hostesses.
The Minister said that several young women from around the country responded to advertisements published in the media to join SriLanka Airlines as air hostesses.
According to the Minister, several qualified women attended the interview, but some had a “small pimple” on the face or a mark on the midriff which showed when wearing a saree and they were rejected.
