Flight attendants were told they have to walk two steps behind male colleagues and cover themselves in a headscarf and robe known as an abaya.
BMI spokesman, Phil Shepherd said: "In providing air services people want, demand and use, we have an obligation to respect the customs of the destination country."
One airline employee said, "It's outrageous that we must respect their beliefs but they're not prepared to respect ours." 40 employees have filed complaints so far.
