The women will start working on the China Eastern Airline flights from June 1, according to the Web site of the official People's Daily newspaper.

"The language is the biggest advantage for them. And as people coming from the same country, they would observe and know better the needs of our overseas passengers," Wu Wenhua, manager of the company's foreign cabin attendants department, told China's state-run China Radio International.

The airline is planning to hire some Russian hostesses in June, CRI reported on its Web site.
