    What's the story

    Air India on Tuesday unveiled its new uniforms for pilots and cabin crew conceived by renowned fashion designer Manish Malhotra.

    The outfits, featuring iconic Indian colors like red, aubergine, and gold, are an "ode to Air India's rich history and a promise of a bright future," said the airline.

    Undergoing changes for the first time in six decades, the uniforms will reportedly be introduced with the launch of Air India's first Airbus A350, due for delivery this month.

    Details

    Trendy ombre sarees for female crew, bandhgalas for men

    Female cabin crew's revamped uniforms feature stylish ombre sarees with jharokha patterns and a pin with Air India's new logo, the Vista.

    Senior crew members will wear aubergine-to-burgundy sarees with matching blazers/blouses, while juniors will sport rich red-to-purple sarees with red blazers/blouses.

    For better comfort and flexibility, the airline will allow female crew members to wear pants with their sarees—creating a unique neo-traditional saree pantsuit.

    Interestingly, male crew members will wear iconic bandhgalas in black or red with golden buttons.

    "It is a privilege...to contribute to the national flag-bearer and showcase the elegance and charm of Indian fashion. My aim was to create uniforms that capture the essence of India's diverse culture and traditions while also embodying a modern and sophisticated look," he said.
