British Airways has performed a policy u-turn over staff uniforms by allowing employees to wear religious symbols.
Following a ‘comprehensive review’ the airline has climbed down from its hard-line policy, which banned workers from wearing visible religious symbols .
The review came after BA Heathrow check-in worker Nadia Eweida took unpaid leave in September after being told she could not wear her crucifix chain while on duty.
The airline received a raft of criticism for its policy, which allowed Muslims workers to wear Hijabs, Sikh workers to wear turbans but barred Christians from wearing a cross.
The new policy will come in on February 1.
