Tata Group-owned Air India will be introducing new uniforms for its crew members in the near future, as per a report by PTI. The uniforms could be introduced when the airline inducts its first wide-body A350 aircraft later this year. Earlier this year, Air India placed orders for 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing.
Fashion designer Manish Malhotra is among those who have been roped in to design the new uniforms, a source said. Discussions on the uniforms for crew are still underway and the finer details of the uniforms are yet to be finalised.
Air India is currently in the process of merging Vistara with itself. Tata Group holds a 51 per cent stake in Vistara and the rest is with Singapore Airlines.
Last month, Air India new brand identity ‘The Vista’ inspired by the peak of the golden window frame that signifies “limitless possibilities” and a new aircraft livery.
Air India last changed its uniform back in 2015 when it was under government control.
