SkyUp Strips Her Fleet of Fancy Heels, Goes Casual
Who knew that a flight attendant’s shoe choice could spark a wardrobe revolution? Alexandrina Denysenko, a seasoned SkyUp crew member with seven years on the wing, once told Reuters she “has no spare minute to sit down during a flight.” She keeps her legs aching after hours of strutting in stilettos, so she loves a break from the high‑heeled grind.
Why the Change?
When a team of attendants complained about the suffocating comfort of heels, the airline made a bold move: no more heels or pencil skirts. The fresh look includes white Nike sneakers, a relaxed orange jumpsuit with underskirts, and a silk scarf that doubles as a stylish accessory. And for tops? White t‑shirts replace the old buzzing blouses.
Denysenko Says:
- “Heels look beautiful, I don’t argue with that, but feet get swollen by the end of a flight. Sneakers feel awesome.”
- “If a crew has to land in water or perform an emergency evacuation, heels can damage the ladder, and you’re not exactly aquagolfer in a skirt.”
The Story Behind the Switch
The airline dove into the history of cabin crew attire and decided to ditch what they called “conservative” elements—like the tight bun and ponytail. Instead, it’s all about flowing braids, a more comfortable stance, and well‑wired footwear.
So next time you fly with SkyUp, you’ll likely see a crew that feels as grounded as the shoes they wear—sea‑foam sneakers and a breezy jumpsuit that even the toughest of jetcoaches would applaud.

She quipped, “You might think flight attendants are just glamorous runway stars, but their roles really demand hardcore physical training.”
