Norwegian Air tells female staff they must carry doctor’s note at all times if they want to wear flat shoes

Norwegian Air has told its female staff that they must carry a doctor’s note at all times if they want to wear flat shoes. The airline, which has been fiercely criticised, told its women employees that they must wear heels which are at least 2 centimetres tall in a 22-page dress code. Women are required to have a doctor’s note at all times and update it every 6 months if they want to wear flat shoes. The airline has been accused of being trapped in a “Mad Men universe”. Norwegian Air said its staff are allowed to wear flat shoes while in the cabin and the doctor’s note refers to female footwear when worn outside the aircraft cabin. “Like all global airlines, Norwegian has a comprehensive set of uniform guidelines to ensure that our flying crew represent our brand in a smart and consistent manner." <br/>
