Buh-bye to gendered airline greetings.
EasyJet,??? ????? ??? ???? ????? a low-cost European airline, has reportedly advised its in-flight crews to refrain from using the standard "ladies and gentlemen" greeting when welcoming passengers.
The inclusive change follows a tweet from an EasyJet passenger, Twitter user @InductiveStep, who urged the airline to stop using the phrase. (EasyJet told CNN that the move was not a direct response to the tweet, which was posted in August.)
In the tweet, @InductiveStep asked, "Are you in some kind of competition to see how many times you can reinforce gender binaries? ... An organisation as huge as yours must do better."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
When @InductiveStep originally tweeted this feedback, CNN reports that EasyJet said it was "committed" to focusing on diversity and inclusion.
Now, they've made good on that promise. This marks a shift going on at other airlines as well. In October, Air Canada announced that it would use gender-neutral terms on flights.
"We want our crew to be welcoming to everyone on board, so have provided some guidance to them on how best to do that in a way that is inclusive for everyone," an EasyJet spokesperson told CNN Travel.
Here's to safe, gender-inclusive travels!
