Tokyo, Nov 13: In a bizarre twist on the traditional attractions of pretty air stewardesses, a Japanese airline is to test-market flights with all-male cabin attendants to attract female passengers, an official said today.

Skynet Asia Airways is offering all-male cabin service for up to 300 passengers on a "men's flight" round trip between Tokyo and the resort town of Miyazaki, 850 km southwest of the capital, on Saturday.
Four male cabin attendants, aged from the early 20s to 40, will be on board.
Wearing bow ties, they will introduce themselves to customers and offer to take pictures with them in addition to providing normal drink services, marketing and planning official Hiroshi Yanagisawa said.
"I know one of them personally ... and he, aged 28, is athletic and handsome even to men's eyes," he said.
If the feedback is positive, the company will launch such flights on a regular basis in the future, he said.
"We are a newcomer in the aviation industry ... and need to do something extraordinary to attract customer attention," Yanagisawa said.
"We decided to increase the value of inflight services since we have reached the limits for cutting fares amid the ongoing price war," he said.
Its normal fare for a one-way Tokyo-Miyazaki flight is 23,300 Yen (USD 215) although the price is nearly one third at 8,500 Yen if the seat is booked two months before the flight day.
