National carrier Air
India has draped its cabin crew in an all-new uniform, replacing the trademark
red, white and black colours for bright mustard, designed by the premier
fashion institute NIFT.
The new uniform was
launched on the onset of Baisakhi, which is considered an auspicious day in
various parts of the country, the airline said in a release.
The uniform has been designed considering the legacy of Air
India, incorporating its sun logo and the traditional designs, it said.
The airline had initially proposed to introduce the new
uniform last October.
Apart from saree being part of cabin crew uniform, the women
cabin crew would don the Indian kurti as well as Western dress.
Having considered the best practices of both the erstwhile
companies, the airline has retained the practice of allowing the male cabin
crew to stitch their uniforms with the tailors of their choice, Air India said.
The Cabin crew members have already received their initial
quota of two sets of all the different types of uniforms, it said. – PTI
