Aeroflot Caps In-Flight Heels at 4 Centimeters, Reserves Stilettos for Events

The statement clarifies comfort-focused safety standards under airline-controlled dress codes.

Overview

  • Aeroflot said female cabin crew may wear stable heels no higher than 4 cm per its uniform standard and crew manual.
  • The carrier supplies multiple seasonal shoes for staff and provides stilettos only for marketing or protocol appearances, not during flights.
  • The airline described the 4 cm limit as optimal for working comfort and operational safety.
  • Rosaviatsia has recommended ending mandatory high heels but noted it cannot directly set airline dress codes.
  • Lawmakers have proposed banning high-heel requirements, while other Russian carriers report 2–4 cm heels or allow sneakers for cabin crews.
