In India, the starting average salary for ground staff's members is around 30,000/-35,000/- whereas for cabin crew, it is 40,000/- to 50,000/-.

If they have an all-female cabin crew instead of a mixed cabin crew. The reason for this is that a female cabin crew would weigh on an average 20 kilos lighter than a male cabin crew and as a result, would save on fuel consumption in the long run. As a result, many cash-strapped no-frills budget airlines in India such as Indigo Airlines, Go Air, Spice JET and Air Asia only hire female cabin crew. This helps them save a huge amount of money in the long run. The above calculation is true for a fleet of just 15 aircrafts, so airlines like Indigo who already have 150+ aircrafts currently, save a lot of money every year by not hiring male cabin crew. This method has also been utilized to a great extent by other low cost Asian airlines.

Gender ratio of females versus males for cabin crews is definitely different in Indian Carriers as compared with carriers from abroad. A lot depends on availability of talent pool and the socioeconomic conditions of population strata in countries. In India females are considered fit for the job to be serving to people. Also, a large number of young girls just out of the school are without jobs hence they queue up for any job at any pay. Hence there is large female talent pool available here. On the other hand, abroad, the availability of females for these jobs is much less since there are plenty of other jobs available to them. Thus airlines there have to recruit more males as cabin crew. Thus the gender ratio follows different trajectory. Thank you,. .
