Following reports from passengers who had flown with the airline that some female flight attendants were wearing ponytails instead of the traditional updos, Modern Express contacted the company, which confirmed that this innovative initiative was introduced in July. However, it was stated that instead of allowing completely unrestricted hairstyles, certain standards have been established for each style, including ponytails, buns, and short hair.

The article reported that while there were many positive reactions to the company's new initiative, such as 'I think it's good that female flight attendants can choose their hairstyles freely' and 'Ponytails are approachable and have the effect of reducing the distance between female flight attendants and passengers,' voices expressing concern were also heard, stating, 'Female flight attendants frequently need to bend their bodies and raise their arms. Ponytails tend to sway easily and could potentially touch passengers' meals or get caught on equipment in the narrow cabin.'
