India's newest airline, Akasa Air, has unveiled its airline crew uniform in the runup towards the start of domestic air operations. Akasa Air took delivery of its first Boeing 737 max aircraft in India on June 21 and is expected to commence commercial operations by the end of the month.
Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing & Experience Officer, Akasa Air, said, employee centricity and sustainability would be Akasa Air’s core. “We have designed a uniform in which our team feels both proud and comfortable as they direct their energy to ensure a warm, friendly, and efficient flying experience for all our passengers,” he said.
The uniforms include custom trousers, jackets, and comfortable sneakers for its airline in-flight crew, featuring a youthful and contemporary design, with warm colours reflecting the warm, friendly and happy personality, Akasa Air wants to project.
The trouser and jacket fabric designed by Rajesh Pratap Singh are made using recycled polyester fabric derived from pet bottle plastic salvaged from marine waste. The lightweight gender-neutral sneakers from Vanilla Moon contain extra cushioning from heel to toe for better support. The sneaker sole is carved from recycled rubber and manufactured without any use of plastic.
