爽！印度尼西亞亞齊省想處罰亞航空姐？沒門！亞航搶先發布懲罰性措施：這航線取消空姐服務，改派全男班空服員！
為了應付印度尼西亞亞齊省要求穆斯林空姐在當地落地時必須戴上頭巾的規定，亞航將會調整空服人員的安排，確保來往亞齊的航班，是"全男班"空服人員上陣。
這家廉價航空公司告訴《透視大馬》，該公司已知悉亞齊省的新規定，並且會採取所需的應對措施。
「為了確保我們的航班服務沒有違反條例，我們將會在這個航線，派出男空服人員負責亞齊航線。」
亞齊省是印度尼西亞唯一奉行伊斯蘭法的省份，當地婦女都必須戴頭巾。不過，一些穆斯林空姐因為只是短暫逗留當地，而沒有這麼做。這促使當地政府決定致函航空公司，重申這項規定。
當地政府說，違例的穆斯林空姐將受到譴責。如果重犯，則會被宗教警察逮捕。
大亞齊地區區長馬瓦爾周二（30日）稱，一些穆斯林空姐在該省停留時並沒有戴頭巾，當局不得不明文規定。
「我希望航空公司能尊重亞齊實施伊斯蘭法的獨特性……我們本周末將通知各航空公司有關這項規定……如果一個（穆斯林）空姐違規，我們會譴責她。如果她一再違規，我會下令宗教警察逮捕她。」
除了亞航，其他受影響的航空公司包括印度尼西亞國營嘉魯達航空、連城航空、獅航、巴澤航空及飛螢航空。
MALAYSIAN low-cost airline AirAsia will have an all-male cabin crew servicing the Aceh route, following the region's order that Muslim female flight attendants must don the hijab upon arrival.
In a statement to The Malaysian Insight today, AirAsia said it acknowledged the regulation imposed by Aceh authorities.
"We are committed to ensuring that our operations adhere to the regulation. For the time being, all AirAsia flights from and to Aceh will be operated by male cabin crew.」
Aceh authorities said Muslim female flight attendants who failed to adhere to the ruling would face punishment by religious police.
However, the type of punishment was not specified.
Muslim women in Aceh, on the island of Sumatra, are required to wear the Islamic headscarf under religious law, while non-Muslim women can opt to wear modest clothing instead.
However, some Muslim female flight attendants who did not regularly wear the hijab were skipping the local practice during short layovers, forcing the issuance of the new regulation, said Mawardy Ali, head of Aceh Besar district, which includes provincial capital Banda Aceh.
Mawardy said he would meet some half-dozen affected airlines this week, adding that Aceh was disseminating information on the ruling to airlines throughout the week.
National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia president Ismail Nasarudin said airlines had no choice but to comply with the regulation.
"You have no choice, but to prepare them (cabin crew) for it."
He said this was not the first case of such regulations being imposed, as the same applied to female flight attendants servicing the Jeddah route.
"The regulations of the said country are different from ours, where it is required by law for Muslims, or any woman, to cover up by wearing the hijab.
「So, if AirAsia is flying to Aceh, then the airline has to follow the guideline. They can't land or leave the plane if they refuse to comply with local laws.」
Many women in Indonesia, the world's biggest Muslim-majority nation, do not wear the hair-covering scarf, and Islamic law only applies in Aceh – the region won special autonomy in 2001 as part of a deal to end a long-running separatist insurgency.
Concern has been growing among rights activists about rising religious conservatism in Aceh, where police over the weekend forcibly cut the hair of a group of transgender women and made them wear male clothing to make them more "manly".
Indonesia's national carrier, Garuda, and its low-cost arm, Citilink, service Banda Aceh, which hosts the province's main airport.
Garuda said it would comply with the new regulation, and may add a special uniform worn by its female staff on Middle East-bound flights – which includes the hijab – to Aceh flights.
"Garuda respects the local culture in Aceh," said company spokesman Ikhsan Rosan.
Citilink spokesman Benny Butarbutar, meanwhile, said the carrier had already been using an Islamic-compliant uniform for its flight attendants servicing Aceh since 2015.
Other airlines affected include Indonesian budget carrier Lion Air and its full-service subsidiary, Batik Air, which operate regular flights between Aceh and other parts of the Southeast Asian archipelago.
Malaysia's AirAsia and Firefly are the main foreign carriers that operate flights to the region.
