New uniform for Indian hostesses

NEW DELHI: Air hostesses on board flights of national carrier Indian started sporting brand new uniforms from Tuesday, lending a freshness to crew uniform and cabin ambience.

Crew rostered for flights from Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore attired in crepe and silk sarees in the vibrant house colours orange and blue.

A highlight of new design is chakra motif, blending softly into rest of the design. The chakra, taking its origin from the Sun Temple at Konark, features in the new livery of all Indian aircraft.

While the colour orange has had a strong association with Indian and signifies vibrancy and continuity, the accompanying blue shows a natural affiliation with the sky and aviation.

The uniform design is a collective effort of a team of designers.

Sarees have been woven by reputed companies. 

It has been a tradition at Indian to go in for new uniform every two years with the idea of lending a freshness to the crew uniform and cabin ambience.

The crew will have the choice of wearing either orange or blue saree in crepe or in silk, thus lending variety on board. Each air hostess is given eight sarees every two years.
