Is there a great variation in gender ratio within cabin crew members on Indian and international carriers?

Yes, in India you will see most of the airlines only hire female cabin crew. So, the ratio here is higher for female as compared to male. In international airlines also the ratio is more or less similar as per my knowledge.

Data of various Indian airlines operators indicate that there is dominance of female cabin aircrew. Some airlines prefer to recruit of only female cabin crew is as per international trends. It may reinforce gender stereotypes. It is found that Airlines like IndiGo and Vistara that make up about 43% of the domestic market have only female cabin crew in their flights, while airline firms like Air India Ltd, Jet Airways Ltd and SpiceJet Ltd have mixed crew. Vistara, has indicated that it may include male crew in future. Male cabin attendants started appearing in the West around late 1950s and early 1960s. Eventually, most nations in the western world passed anti-discriminatory laws and the previous restrictions became illegal. In India, most of the airlines have stated and have started becoming is an equal opportunity employer will do not discriminate based on sex. Therefore, it is expected that this will get corrected in few years.
