British Airways said that the uniform of the airlines which was a three-piece trouser and skirt sets till now, will also include jumpsuits and an option to wear tunics and hijabs, CNN reported. This marks the first time in nearly 20 years that the airline has revamped its uniform, the report said.
While the female cabin crew can wear anything from dress, skirt, trousers, as well as the jumpsuit, men can don a three-piece suit. The new collection has been created British fashion designer Ozwald Boateng who has been working on it for the past five years. The release was earlier delayed owing to the Covid pandemic, the report said.
The new uniform will also alter the airline’s classic colour palette as women’s uniforms will be in a navy jacquard fabric with red accents at the sleeves. It will also include a red scarf with wavy designs in blue and white, the report said, as the design is inspired by the movement of air over an aircraft wing.
