The dancing flight attendants of Cebu Pacific are back again, this time swaying to the tunes of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas is You'.
The low-cost Philippine carrier gained famed last year by dancing to Lady Gaga on board flights to demonstrate emergency evacuation instructions to passengers.
This year, in time for Christmas, the airline has choreographed a two and a half minute dance routine in a bid to help passengers pay more attention to the safety demonstration.
A spokeswoman for the Manila-based airline, Candice Iyog, told the Associated Press: "Now that it's Christmas, we wanted to bring a little more fun into the flight."
A video of the routine shows four female attendants orange shirts and khaki bottoms dancing away on select flights.
However, the Cebu Pacific dance moves have not been well received everywhere in the Philippines when it took its first routine to the air. Local political leaders frowned upon it, saying the routine done in 2010 was "a cheap promotional gimmick" and was demeaning to women, reported AFP.
The airline then used male stewards to perform the original stunt done by females after it drew criticism from the local community.
Cebu Pacific is not the first airline to use its staff to attract the attention of passengers in unconventional ways.
Other airlines like Air New Zealand have also ran safety videos featuring dancing employees previously.
