Air India is planning to introduce a health and fitness compliance policy for its cabin crew, under which those found underweight, overweight or obese could face derostering and loss of pay.

The compliance assessment will be based on Body Mass Index (BMI), with a reading of 18–24.9 defined as ‘normal’ and accepted as the desired range by the airline.
