Taipei, June 24 (CNA) EVA Airways announced Monday after a shareholders' meeting that it plans to recruit about 200 flight attendants later this year, including males, for the first time in the company's history.

While all EVA Air's 4,200 flight attendants are currently female, EVA President Clay Sun (孫嘉明) said it will introduce new cabin crew, including foreign and male flight attendants.

There will not be any difference between jobs for male and female flight attendants, and they will be paid at the same rates, Sun said.

The move came against the backdrop of an ongoing EVA Air strike in which some 2,000 flight attendants have participated, leading to cancellations of 911 flights between Monday and Friday.
