Mumbai-based GoAir has told male stewards they will be dropped in favour of female attendants.
The company said it took the decision in order to cut costs and boost fuel efficiency.
GoAir has claimed the resultant weight discrepancy between male and female personnel will allow it to reduce the overall weight aboard their aircraft.
Female-only flight attendants weigh about 20 kilograms lighter on average than their heavier male counterparts.
The low-cost airline has calculated the move will help them save up to US$500,000 a year on fuel costs.
Male staff have complained the move is a violation of the right to equal opportunity in matters of employment.
Some discrimination experts have said women have for decades dominated the profession due to their physical attributes and attractiveness.
