Turkish staff 'weight listed'

Turkish Airlines has followed the example of UAE-based Air Arabia and told 13 female and 15 male flight attendants they must lose weight in the next six months or be grounded. "Weight and height are important factors at all airlines," the Turkish airline said.

"These criteria are important both in terms of appearance and the ability to move about."
