New Delhi: Today, Air India unveiled the pilots' and crew members' new uniforms. This is the first time the airline has altered the uniforms of its crew in sixty years since its founding in 1932, and it coincides with the airline's current merger with Vistara.

According to an announcement made by the airline on X, the new uniform is a "tribute to Air India's rich history and a promise of a bright future." It will be introduced by the end of this year.

In order to create new uniforms that "represent the confident, vibrant new India," the airline hired fashion designer Manish Malhotra to create designs in the colours red, aubergine, and gold for its over 10,000 flight crew, ground crew, and security personnel.

The official Air India account shared a video on X featuring crew members dressed in the newest uniforms.

"A tribute to Air India's illustrious past and a sign of the airline's promising future, please accept our new pilot and cabin crew uniforms. The three traditional Indian colours of red, aubergine, and gold are featured on these uniforms, which were designed by renowned Indian designer Manish Malhotra and symbolise the self-assured, dynamic new India, the airline stated on X.

According to the release from the airline, "Air India expects to commence rolling out the new look for its uniformed employees by the end of 2023."

Air India ordered 470 aircraft from Boeing and Airbus earlier this year as part of an ambitious revamp plan.

"Air India's crew uniforms are among the most storied in aviation history," stated Campbell Wilson, the company's chief executive officer and managing director. "We immovably accept that Manish Malhotra's inventive outfit will script an energizing modern chapter for Discuss India's future account." It superbly typifies our unused brand, our directing benefit standards, and our mission to rethink worldwide flying benchmarks."

"It is an honour to have been given the opportunity to design the uniforms for Air India," said designer Manish Malhotra.

Being able to support the national flag-bearer and highlight the grace and allure of Indian fashion is an honour. "My goal was to design uniforms that embodied a contemporary and sophisticated style, while also capturing the essence of India's diverse culture and traditions," the man stated.
