SkyUp Airlines is the privately-owned Ukrainian carrier, which was formed in 2016.

It is one of Ukraine’s newest low-cost carriers, but it is already one of the countries largest.

SkyUp Airlines decided to put an end to heels and pencil skirts after collecting feedback from flight attendants about their uniform.

The announcement was made at the end of July.

Comfort and efficiency rather than a stilted and conservative image for its hostesses: this is the daring choice made by the Ukrainian airline Skyup Airlines.

The new SkyUp uniform for women now includes white Nike sneakers and a loose orange suit with trousers and a silk scarf, both made by Ukrainian brands. White T-shirts will replace blouses.

The company is also planning to launch a new uniform for men: A light suit instead of a vest and a t-shirt instead of a shirt will be combined with black Nike sneakers.
