In US, there are no more restrictions on height or weight. You just have to train and train well for emergency situations, fight fires on planes, work with medical equipment and know how to evacuate a plane in 90 seconds. It is very hard and you have to have a 4.0 to pass
Well, this weeds the airheads out.

I don't know what the rules are for every airline, but the one I worked for for 25 years required the flight attendants to be tall enough to reach the overhead bins and all emergency equipment. That pretty much ruled out anyone who was shorter than 5'. As far as I know there wasn't a maximum height limit but anyone taller than about 6'2" probably wouldn't have been all that comfortable in the airplane cabin working environment for the long hours the job requires.

Have a minimum arm reach of 208cm.This is necessary to meet our safety requirements. Airlines do measure arm reach by having you remove your shoes and extend your arms above your head. Standing on tiptoe is allowed in general.

It depends on the airline (eg which country).
