Some stewardesses from India will serve on the flights operated by China Eastern Airlines between Shanghai and New Delhi in the coming week-long holiday from May 1 to 7, company sources said on Wednesday.

The Shanghai-based airline company has recruited 500 foreign flight attendants from Japan, the Republic of Korea, France, the United States, Germany, Spain and India since 1993, the source said.

The foreign flight attendants have brought with them flight experiences and different cultures and folk customs.

The company is still planning to recruit flight attendants from the Philippines and Russia.

As one of the three largest state-owned aviation groups, China Eastern Airlines operates more than 400 international and domestic routes.
