India's national carrier Air India is set to ground 125 "overweight" cabin crew members.

印度国家航空公司印度航空准备让125名“超重空乘人员停止机舱内服务。

An Air India official told the BBC that the order had been made on the basis of a document issued by the civil aviation authority last year.

印度航空公司一位官员向英国广播公司(BBC)表示，印航基于印度民航局去年发布的一份文件做出了此规定。

The airline had warned 600 of its crew to "shape up" last year, but 125 had not managed to maintain the required weight, the official said.

该工作人员表示，他们公司去年已经告诫600名员工进行“塑形，不过仍有125名员工体重未达标。

The airline says however that the issue is not one of weight, but "fitness".

该公司表示，这项规定并非针对体重，而是要求“健美。

Airline officials confirmed to the BBC that the directive had been issued, but said it was part of an internal document which they could not comment on publicly.

印航官员也向BBC证实，该公司的确下达了此项规定，不过他们也表示此项规定只是内部文件，他们不能公开置评。

They said the basis for the recommendation was concern that "unfit" cabin crew would not be able to operate efficiently in emergency situations.
