As the new airline gears up for takeoff in the coming weeks, Akasa Air debuted the first glimpse of its staff uniform on Monday. By the end of this month, the airline, supported by renowned stock market investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, is anticipated to begin operations.
On June 21, it received its first Boeing 737 Max aircraft in India. This week, it aims to do proving flights before receiving the Air Operator Permit necessary to begin conducting business.
The uniform fit, according to a statement from Akasa Air on Monday, focuses on giving employees the finest stretch possible to assure their comfort throughout their hectic flying schedules.
According to the firm, Akasa Air is the first airline in India to offer tailored jackets and pants made of fabric manufactured specifically for the airline out of recycled polyester made from pet bottle plastic recovered from marine garbage, as well as comfortable shoes for the in-flight personnel.
The business claims that in order to provide crew members with better support and to accommodate their active lifestyles and long shifts standing, Vanilla Moon created lightweight sneakers with additional cushioning from heel to toe.
It claimed that the sole of the sneakers is made entirely of recycled rubber and was produced without the usage of any plastic.
The jacket, created by Delhi-based fashion designer Rajesh Pratap Singh, is forward-thinking in its contemporary take on the Indian bandhgala.
“These uniforms are the ideal synthesis of fashion and sustainability, and they represent the essential ideals of Akasa Air. It has been a thrilling trip for me to work on these designs from the initial concept to the finished product, and I’m proud to showcase one of the most distinctive, long-lasting, and useful uniforms of our time,” Singh said.
Akasa Air announced its purchase of 72 Boeing ‘737 Max’ planes in November of last year. Two 737 MAX family members, the 737-8 and 737-8-200, are part of the purchase.
