Air India is set to implement a new health and fitness compliance policy for its cabin crew starting May 1. The move will link crew eligibility for flying schedules and pay to their Body Mass Index (BMI) and functional fitness assessments. Those who do not meet the standards may face derostering or even temporary loss of pay. The airline has defined the “normal” BMI range for crew members as 18 to 24.9. BMI readings below or above this range will trigger additional evaluations and possible consequences.
