Westjet, Air Canada and US Airways also allow flight attendants to wear a hijab for religious purposes. Previously, you could only apply for a flight attendant job with a strictly Islamic airline such as Rayani Air (now-defunct), Royal Brunei Airlines, or Ariana Afghan Airlines.

As of 2026, an increasing number of global airlines have updated their uniform policies to allow female cabin crew members to wear a hijab. AirAsia notably expanded this option to its entire network starting in Ramadan 2026, allowing a professionally tailored hijab and pants option for any crew member who chooses it. British Airways also introduced a hijab and tunic option as part of its major uniform overhaul in 2023, and Virgin Atlantic has adopted highly flexible, inclusive policies. Many Middle Eastern carriers like Saudia, Iran Air, and Qatar Airways have long permitted or required the hijab depending on their home country's regulations. However, some traditional European and North American carriers still maintain stricter "visual consistency" rules that may not explicitly include the hijab in their standard uniform kits. It is a peer-to-peer "best practice" for aspiring crew to check the specific diversity and inclusion guidelines of an airline, as the industry is rapidly moving toward more representative and authentic grooming standards.
