Air India unveils new uniform for pilots and crew

Air India finally unveiled new uniforms for pilots and cabin crew on Tuesday, designed by celebrity fashion designer Manish Malhotra

The new uniforms will be introduced in a phased manner over the next few months, starting with the entry of service of Air India’s first Airbus A350

The innovative ensemble will script an exciting new chapter for Air India’s future narrative as it perfectly captures the essence of the new identity

This is the first time in 60 years that the airplane carrier has changed uniforms for its crew

Sharing his experience of envisioning the uniforms, Malhotra said, “In the earlier years, they (cabin crew) actually used to wear lehengas and maang teekas.

The traditional saree worn by flight attendants has made a comeback in the ensemble with a hint of modernity, in the form of ready-to-wear sarees

In 1962, JRD Tata decided to replace skirts, jackets, and hats with sarees for female cabin crew members.

In September, Air India launched its new logo “The Vista,” inspired by the peak of its signature gold window frame
