North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un has demanded female stewards on board his country's airline wear SHORTER skirts.

The tubby tyrant has called for women cabin crew on Air Koryo to show more leg after personally overseeing a change in the company's uniform.

Kim, 32, made the demands while re-designing the frumpy red outfits staff had worn for years.

They will now wear figure-hugging blue uniforms with short skirts and high heels for journeys on the fleet of outdated planes, despite the average ticket price being 250 times the average monthly wage for a worker in the country.

On person told The Sun: “Kim himself oversaw the re-modelling of the uniforms and granted the wearing of shorter skirts which are considered very daring.

“He thought the cabin crew should be keeping up with modern times – despite North Korea being one of the most out-dated places on the planet.”

Although the airline has been running for a number of years, it is used only by the select few rich people in the secretive country.

Chinese officials and businessmen who work with the country have also flown on the airline - which flies internally and to a few select foreign destinations in China.

According to reports, air fares range from between £38 and £56 - massively more than most people in the country earn.
